Description

The RSFirewall! plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.42 via the get_local_filename() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
