Arbitrary file upload via unchecked ZIP extraction
Published Mar 26, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Arbitrary file upload in Julien Crego Manager for IcoMoon 2.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to place executable files on servers. The upload function omits file-type validation before extracting attacker-controlled ZIP contents into a web-accessible location. Wordfence reports no authentication gate, while Patchstack assigns high privileges; requesting an extracted PHP file executes code in the WordPress service context.
