Multiple Vulnerabilities in the WordPress Ultimate Member Plugin

The Ultimate member plugin version 2.0.45 and lower is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, among them is a critical vulnerability allowing malicious users to read and delete your wp-config.php file, which can lead to a complete website takeover.

If an admin added a File upload or Image upload input field on one of the forms (such as on the user profile), the user can use it to download any file of the server.
