## Overview
The File Away plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the ajax() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.9.0.1. This enables unauthenticated attackers, who exploit a reversible weak algorithm, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which may contain sensitive information.
