Description

The Awesome Support plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference to (Subscriber+) Ticket Export in versions up to, and including, 6.1.1. Improper protection of the 'file' parameter used to control the user id value during exported tickets archive downloads makes it possible for subscriber-level attackers to download arbitrary exported tickets for any user with tickets on the target site. These tickets could contain sensitive information.
