Directory traversal vulnerability in wp-download.php in the WP Custom Pages module 0.5.0.1 for WordPress allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via ..%2F (encoded dot dot) sequences in the url parameter.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
