Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Larry W. Cashdollar.
The Simple Image Manipulator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote File Download in versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to no authorization checks or user input sanitization being performed in the './simple-image-manipulator/controller/download.php' file. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers to remotely download otherwise restricted files from the vulnerable site.
