Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Glossary plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.2.26

Description The issue is due to the plugin utilizing wpdesk and not preventing direct access to the test files, along with display errors being enabled. This allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full path of the web application, which can be used to aid other attacks. The information displayed is not useful on its own and requires another vulnerability to be present for damage to an affected website.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.2.26, update to a version higher than 2.2.26 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the display errors feature and restricting direct access to the test files until a patch is available.
