Descriptions

The PeepSo Core: File Uploads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.6.0 via the file_download REST API endpoint due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download files uploaded by others users and expose potentially sensitive information.

El complemento PeepSo Core: File Uploads para WordPress es vulnerable a una Referencia Directa a Objetos Insegura en todas las versiones hasta la 6.4.6.0 incluida, a través del endpoint de la API REST file_download, debido a la falta de validación en una clave controlada por el usuario. Esto permite que atacantes no autenticados descarguen archivos subidos por otros usuarios y expongan información potencialmente confidencial.
