CVE-2024-43160Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via unrestricted PHP upload

Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Unrestricted file upload in BerqWP 1.7.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to upload executable files without authentication. The exposed REST endpoint accepts attacker-controlled image data and a filename without file-type validation, allowing a PHP payload to be written and requested from the site root. No WordPress account or user interaction is required, and successful upload permits arbitrary PHP execution in the web server context.
