Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to James Hooker.
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.
