Description

WordPress Plugin HB Audio Gallery Lite 1.0.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to download arbitrary files by manipulating the file_path parameter. Attackers can send requests to the audio-download.php endpoint with directory traversal sequences to access sensitive files like wp-config.php outside the intended gallery directory.
