## Description

Google Drive for WordPress 2.2 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by injecting directory traversal sequences in the file_name parameter. Attackers can send POST requests to gdrive-ajaxs.php with the ajaxstype parameter set to del_fl_bkp and file_name containing traversal sequences ../../wp-config.php to access sensitive configuration files.
