Description

The Gotham Block Extra Light plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0 via the 'ghostban' shortcode. 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.
