CVE-2024-0757Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Author-level code execution via unfiltered ZIP contents

Published Jun 4, 2024 · Updated Mar 27, 2025

Code injection in Insert or Embed Articulate Content into WordPress 4.3000000023 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP. The e-Learning block's ZIP import accepts dangerous extensions such as .phar and .htaccess and extracts them into a web-accessible uploads directory. Author-level access and an Apache web server are required; requesting the extracted file executes attacker-supplied commands under the web server account.
