Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Theme Editor WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.6

Description: The issue allows administrators to download arbitrary files on the web server, such as /etc/passwd, due to a lack of validation of the GET file parameter before it is passed to the download file() function.

Recommendations: For Theme Editor WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.6, update to version 2.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the download file() function until a patch is available. Avoid using the file parameter in affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
