- stellarwp The Events Calendar: through 6.15.17

## Description

The The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.15.17 via the 'ajax_create_import' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information.
