WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
Download Monitor < 4.5.91 - Admin+ Arbitrary File Download
Description
The plugin does not ensure that files to be downloaded are inside the blog folders, and not sensitive, allowing high privilege users such as admin to download the wp-config.php or /etc/passwd even in an hardened environment or multisite setup.
Proof of Concept
Create a new download, add a file and put the following payload in the File URLs: /var/www/html/wp-config.php or /etc/passwd Publish the download and download the file
Affects Plugins
Fixed in version 4.5.91
