DESCRIPTION:
Charlie Eriksen has discovered a vulnerability in the Cimy User
Manager plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious
people to disclose certain sensitive information.
Input passed via the "cimy_um_filename" parameter to e.g. index.php
is not properly sanitised in the "cimy_um_download_database()"
function (wp-content/plugins/cimy-user-manager/cimy_user_manager.php)
before being used to read files. This can be exploited to disclose the
content of arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.1. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.4.2.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Charlie Eriksen via Secunia.
