Description
A vulnerability in the Security Plugin, Firewall & Malware Scanner with Auto Removal WordPress plugin before version 2.191 allows non-super-admin administrators, including subsite admins on multisite setups, to read sensitive tracked files. This exposure includes critical files such as the main configuration file, revealing authentication keys, salts, and database credentials. The issue arises because the File System Watcher file viewer does not restrict access properly.
