Description

WordPress Plugin Ghost is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers download arbitrary files because the application fails to sufficiently verify user-supplied input. This may allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive information, which may aid in launching further attacks. WordPress Plugin Ghost version 0.5.5 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Update to plugin version 0.5.6 or latest
