**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** WP Import Export Lite plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 3.9.29 **Description** The WP Import Export Lite plugin for WordPress is susceptible to arbitrary file uploads because of a lack of file type validation within the `wpie parse upload data` function. This allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher, and permissions granted by an Administrator, to upload arbitrary files to the affected server, potentially leading to remote code execution. The vulnerability was partially addressed in version 3.9.29. **Recommendations** Versions prior to 3.9.29 should be updated. As a temporary workaround, restrict file upload permissions for users with Subscriber-level access and below.

**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** WP Import Export Lite versions through 3.9.28 **Description** The WP Import Export Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the `wpie tempalte import` function. This allows authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above, and permissions granted by an Administrator, to upload arbitrary files to the affected site's server, potentially leading to remote code execution. **Recommendations** Update WP Import Export Lite to a version beyond 3.9.28.
