AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WordPress File Upload plugin versions up to, and including, 4.24.15

Description The WordPress File Upload plugin is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution, Arbitrary File Read, and Arbitrary File Deletion due to the lack of proper sanitization of the source parameter and allowing a user-defined directory path in the 'wfu file downloader.php' file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. Over 2 million results are found on ZoomEye, indicating a large number of potentially affected devices worldwide.

Recommendations For WordPress File Upload plugin versions up to, and including, 4.24.15, consider disabling the 'wfu file downloader.php' file or restricting access to it until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the source parameter in the affected file to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
