WordPress · Jupiter X Core · CVE-2024-7772
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Jupiter X Core plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.6.5
**Description**
The Jupiter X Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to a mishandled file type validation in the `validate` function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server, which may make remote code execution possible. The plugin has over 178,000 sales on ThemeForest, making it a widely used and potentially vulnerable target.
**Recommendations**
For Jupiter X Core plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.6.5:
Update to a version later than 4.6.5 to fix the vulnerability.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `validate` function until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the file upload functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid using the file upload feature in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
At the moment, there is no information about additional mitigation measures.
