Description

The System Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 2.8.14 via the 'sd_viewer' action. 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.
