Description

The WP Hide & Security Enhancer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Download in versions before 1.4. This is due to insufficient validation on the file path supplied via the 'file_path' parameter. This makes it possible for attackers to arbitrarily download files such as the wp-config.php file.
