DESCRIPTION:
John Leitch has discovered a vulnerability in the WP Custom Pages
plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
disclose sensitive information.
Input passed via the "url" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/wp-custom-pages/wp-download.php is not properly
verified before being used to read files. This can be exploited to
read arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal
sequences.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.5.0.1. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
