Authenticated code execution via unrestricted custom-field upload
Published Jun 15, 2026 · Updated Jun 15, 2026
Arbitrary file upload in Ultimate Product Catalog 3.8.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP code through custom fields. The Products-tab custom file field accepts executable PHP content and stores it in the web-accessible upcp-product-file-uploads directory. Contributor-level access is sufficient, and requesting the uploaded shell executes code with the WordPress server's privileges.
