Authenticated arbitrary file upload via missing type validation

Published Aug 14, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Unrestricted file upload in Averta Depicter 3.1.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to place arbitrary files on the server. The FileUploaderService uploadFile function accepts a supplied file without validating its type before storing it on the WordPress host. Contributor-level access is required, and code execution depends on the uploaded file being placed where the web server interprets it as code.
