Description
The Download Monitor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file downloads due to not verifying that downloaded files reside within the blog directory in versions up to, and including, 4.5.97. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to download arbitrary files on the affected site's server.
