Administrator code execution via unchecked ZIP extraction
Published Jul 18, 2022 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in WP All Import 3.6.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to execute PHP code. The wp_all_import_get_gz.php upload handler accepts ZIP content without validating extracted file types, allowing a PHP payload beneath the web-accessible uploads directory. A valid WordPress administrator session and upload nonce are required; successful exploitation can overwrite files and run attacker-supplied PHP in the site context.
