Description

The Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in versions up to, and including, 1.2.3 via the POST parameter 'file' where it is used unchecked with 'file_get_contents'. This allows authenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
