Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence.

The WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to path traversal via the 'file_url' parameter found in the importers functionality in versions up to, and including, 6.2.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with high-level permissions such as an administrator, to access files outside of the intended directory when performing an import.
