Description
The Simple File List WordPress plugin through 6.3.11 does not validate the source path of a file-move operation reachable by unauthenticated users, allowing them to read arbitrary files on the server and to relocate critical files out of the web root, leading to sensitive information disclosure and potential site takeover.
