- josxha Restrict File Access: through 1.1.2

## Description

The Restrict File Access plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.2 via the output() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
