Description

WordPress Plugin Swim Team 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 Swim Team version 1.44.1077 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Update to plugin version 1.45.1085 or latest
