DESCRIPTION:
Charlie Eriksen has discovered a vulnerability in the Zingiri Forum
plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
disclose sensitive information.

Input passed via the "url" parameter to e.g. index.php (when "zforum"
is set to "css") is not properly verified in the "zing_forum_output()"
function (wp-content/plugins/zingiri-forum/forum.php) before being
used to read files. This can be exploited to disclose the content of
arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.4.4.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Charlie Eriksen via Secunia.
