Mail Mint <= 1.18.10 - Authenticated (Admin+) Arbitrary File Upload

The Mail Mint plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the process_contact_attribute_import function in all versions up to, and including, 1.18.10. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

An attacker needs Admin access first, so the firewall sees the attempt as traffic from a logged-in account: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. Classes like this one can leave something behind, so the staged malware scanner is the second half: it looks for dropped files and modified code rather than for the request that created them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Mail Mint 1.18.11 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
