Authenticated code execution via unrestricted file upload
Published Aug 19, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Unrestricted file upload in Bit Apps Bit Form Pro 2.6.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute server-side code. The plugin accepts uploaded files without validating their type, allowing executable content to be placed on the WordPress server. Subscriber-level access is required, and successful exploitation can compromise the hosted site and its data.
