Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- Unknown GiveWP: fixed in 4.19.0.1

## Description

The GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.19.0.1 does not properly validate a user-supplied filename before reading it from disk, allowing users with a high-privilege custom role to perform path traversal, disclose the contents of JSON-parseable files anywhere on the server, and overwrite the GiveWP WordPress plugin before 4.19.0.1's stored configuration.
