Authenticated arbitrary file upload outside authorized directories
Published Sep 26, 2023 · Updated Sep 24, 2024
Unrestricted file upload in Welcart e-Commerce 2.7 through 2.8.21 allows remote authenticated users to write files outside authorized directories. Public advisories do not identify the responsible upload handler or disclose how it accepts an attacker-controlled destination or dangerous file type. Editor-level WordPress access is required, and the established consequence is unauthorized file placement rather than confirmed code execution.
