WordPress Plugin PictPress <= release0.91 Remote File Disclosure Vulnerability
The vulnerability allows an attacker to disclose arbitrary files on the server by exploiting a file path traversal issue in the 'resize.php' script of the PictPress WordPress plugin. By manipulating the 'size' and 'path' parameters in the URL, an attacker can traverse directories and read sensitive files, such as the '/etc/passwd' file.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update the PictPress plugin to a version that includes a fix for the file path traversal issue. Alternatively, the plugin can be deactivated or removed if it is not essential for the website's functionality.
