Discussion
WordPress Download Shortcode Plugin 'force-download.php' Local File Include Vulnerability
Download Shortcode plugin for WordPress is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit this issue to obtain potentially sensitive information and execute arbitrary local scripts. This could allow the attacker to compromise the application and the computer; other attacks are also possible.
Download Shortcode 1.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
