Description

The atec Debug plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file read in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.22 via the 'custom_log' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to view the contents of files outside of the originally intended directory.
