AI-suggested

A patch is available for this vulnerability and should be applied promptly to all affected versions of the ERI File Library plugin (up to 1.1.0). Updating to the fixed version will restore proper authorization checks on the 'erifl_file' AJAX action and prevent unauthorized file downloads.

Description

The ERI File Library plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the 'erifl_file' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download files restricted to specific user roles.
