Published Jul 7, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Directory traversal in Media File Organizer 1.0.1 for WordPress allows remote attackers to expose files outside the web root through a move request. The move operation accepts unsanitized paths in the items[] parameter and relocates referenced files into web-accessible locations. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation discloses file contents without altering or interrupting the site.
