CVE-2024-12471Network attack vector

Subscriber-level code execution via unchecked file upload

Published Jan 7, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Arbitrary file upload in Post Saint 1.3.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code through an AJAX request. The add_image_to_library AJAX action accepts uploaded content without a capability check or file-type validation before adding it to the media library. Subscriber-level access is sufficient to place executable files on the server, enabling execution in the WordPress host context.
