Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Google Doc Embedder plugin versions prior to 2.5.4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) in the file parameter to the "libs/pdf.php" endpoint.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.5.4, update to version 2.5.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "libs/pdf.php" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
