Input validation vulnerability in WordPress WP-Advanced-Search 3.3.4

  • Severity: critical
  • Status: Open
  • Publication: March 5, 2020

The WordPress WP-Advanced-Search plugin, up to and including version 3.3.3, has a security vulnerability that can allow unauthenticated attackers to run code on the server. This happens because the WP_Advanced_Search_Import() function is hooked to an action that is accessible to all users. This action allows the attackers to upload a file, which then allows them to run code on the server.
