The BM Content Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to 3.17.1 (exclusive) via the ux_cb_page_customize_save_layout_ajax() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
