      "value": "The Import WP – Export and Import CSV and XML files to WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Read in all versions up to, and including, 2.14.16. This is due to the plugin's REST API endpoint accepting arbitrary absolute file paths without proper validation in the 'attach_file()' function when handling 'file_local' actions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to read arbitrary files on the server's filesystem, including sensitive configuration files and system files via the 'local_url' parameter."

      "value": "El plugin de WordPress “Import WP - Export and Import CSV and XML files to WordPress” es vulnerable a la lectura arbitraria de archivos en todas las versiones hasta la 2.14.16, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el endpoint de la API REST del plugin acepta rutas de archivo absolutas arbitrarias sin la validación adecuada en la función 'attach_file()' al manejar acciones 'file_local'. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de administrador y superior, lean archivos arbitrarios en el sistema de archivos del servidor, incluyendo archivos de configuración sensibles y archivos del sistema a través del parámetro 'local_url'."
