Access violation vulnerability in WordPress File Upload 4.19.1

  • Severity: medium-risk
  • Status: Open
  • Publication: May 23, 2023

The WordPress File Upload and WordPress File Upload Pro plugins for WordPress are not secure in versions up to 4.19.1. If someone with administrator-level access uses the vulnerable parameter wfu_newpath, they can move files uploaded with the plugin (which are located in wp-content/uploads by default) to a different location outside of the web root. This means any confidential information uploaded with the plugin could be accessed by people who should not have access to it.

Detected in:

WordPress File Upload Pro fixed vulnerable versions: >= * <= 4.19.1
WordPress File Upload open vulnerable versions: >= * <= 4.19.1
