WordPress · File Away · CVE-2025-2539
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
File Away plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 3.9.9.0.1
**Description**
The issue allows unauthorized access to data due to a missing capability check on the `ajax()` function. This enables unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information, by leveraging a reversible weak algorithm.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 3.9.9.0.1, update to a version that includes a fix for the missing capability check in the `ajax()` function to prevent unauthorized access.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `ajax()` function in the File Away plugin until a patch is available.
