Description
The Easy WP SMTP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in versions up to, and including, 1.5.1 possibly via the 'admin_init' function (as part of the SMTP import/export functionality). This allows administrator-level attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
