Description The issue concerns an authenticated arbitrary file upload, which is also exploitable with CSRF, via the es media images[] parameter to the "wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" API endpoint.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.3.1, update to version 2.3.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" API endpoint or disabling the es media images[] parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
