Vulnerability Overview

The Import XML and RSS Feeds plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the moove_save_import_template() function in versions up to, and including, 2.1.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrative-level access to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.1.4, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type) The product allows the upload or transfer of dangerous file types that are automatically processed within its environment.
