Vulnerability Overview
The MemberPress Downloads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation and missing capabilities checks on one of its AJAX endpoints in versions up to, and including, 1.2.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.2.6, 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.
