Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.74%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The WordPress File Upload and WordPress File Upload Pro plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to Path Traversal in versions up to, and including, 4.19.1 via the vulnerable parameter wfu_newpath. This allows administrator-level attackers to move files uploaded with the plugin (located in wp-content/uploads by default) outside of the web root.
