Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

The WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability in the 'downloadCustomUploadedFile' function that allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to read arbitrary files on the server. This means attackers can access the contents of files they should not normally be able to see.
