Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ninja Forms - File Uploads Extension WordPress plugin versions up to and including 3.3.0

Description The issue is related to insufficient input file type validation found in the ~/includes/ajax/controllers/uploads.php file, which can be bypassed. This allows unauthenticated attackers to upload malicious files, potentially leading to remote code execution.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 3.3.0, update to a version later than 3.3.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ~/includes/ajax/controllers/uploads.php file to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the file upload functionality in the affected plugin until the issue is resolved.
