Description

The Hot Random Image plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.2 via the 'path' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to access arbitrary images with allowed extensions, outside of the originally intended directory.
