Unauthenticated PHP code execution via unrestricted upload
Published Jan 23, 2020 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
Unrestricted file upload in WP GPX Maps 1.1.21 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code through a crafted upload request. The wp-gpx-maps_admin_tracks.php endpoint accepts a PHP payload while attacker-controlled path and filename-filter parameters bypass the intended GPX upload restrictions. No authentication is required, and requesting the stored script executes attacker-supplied code in the WordPress server context.
