Vulnerability Overview

The Popup and Slider Builder by Depicter – Add Email collecting Popup, Popup Modal, Coupon Popup, Image Slider, Carousel Slider, Post Slider Carousel plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to a missing capability checks in the "depicter-media-upload" AJAX route in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to upload limited files on the affected site's server.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

Depicter <= 4.0.4 carries this weakness at depicter-media-upload, and reaching it takes an account at Contributor level or above. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.

Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For Depicter the fix is 4.0.5: builds <= 4.0.4 are affected, anything from 4.0.5 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 4.0.5, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Depicter 4.0.5 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
