Description
The Secure Downloads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.2 via the update() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
