Descriptions

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in NotFound include-file allows Path Traversal. This issue affects include-file: from n/a through 1.

The include-file plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
