Description
The The Ultimate WordPress Toolkit – WP Extended plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.8 via the download_file_ajax function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
