If you cannot patch yet, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to file access. Avoid exposing the plugin to untrusted administrators.
Description
The Store Locator WordPress plugin before 1.6.9 does not validate a parameter before using it in a file path, allowing high-privileged users such as administrators to read arbitrary `.php` files from the server, including configuration files that contain database credentials and authentication keys.
