DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the myEASYbackup plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.
Input passed to the "dwn_file" POST parameter in
wp-content/plugins/myeasybackup/meb_download.php is not properly
verified before being used to display files. This can be exploited to
disclose the contents of arbitrary files via directory traversal
sequences.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.8.1. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
