Description

The MiwoFTP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Download in versions before 1.0.5. This is due to the improper use of a hook which utilizes a download file function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily download files located within the home directory of the affected site.
