What the vulnerability does

01Description

The 简数采集器 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.3 via the __kds_flag functionality that imports featured images. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Adminstrator-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
