Description

Aspose Doc Exporter plugin for WordPress before 2.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to download arbitrary files by passing unsanitized paths to readfile(). Attackers can send GET requests to aspose_doc_exporter_download.php with the 'file' parameter set to values like ../../../wp-config.php to retrieve database credentials. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-23.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.
