A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Rename Plugin 1.0 on WordPress (WordPress Plugin). Affected is some unknown processing of the file mysqldump_download.php. The manipulation of the argument dumpfname with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability (Absolute). CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22.
