CVE-2024-52402Network attack vector

Web-shell upload via forged administrator request

Published Nov 19, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in Cliconomics Exclusive Content Password Protect 1.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to upload web shells. The unnamed file-upload function processes a forged request without validating a WordPress nonce, allowing attacker-controlled file content. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to visit attacker-controlled content; a successful upload permits code execution with the web server's privileges.
