Description
The WordPress File Sharing Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to 2.0.5 (exclusive) via the upvf_pro_preview_file function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain access to files and folders belonging to other users.
