Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Krzysztof Zając.

The RVM WordPress plugin before 6.4.2 does not have proper authorisation, CSRF checks and validation of the rvm_upload_regions_file_path parameter in the rvm_import_regions AJAX action, allowing any authenticated user, such as subscriber, to read arbitrary files on the web server
