CVE-2024-33913Network attack vector

Arbitrary file upload via forged administrator request

Published May 2, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in XServer Migrator 1.6.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary files through an administrator's browser. The public advisory does not identify the affected request handler or disclose how request-origin validation fails before an upload is accepted. Exploitation requires a logged-in privileged user to open a crafted page or link, after which attacker-chosen files are written to the WordPress site.
