Authenticated code execution via dangerous file upload

Published Nov 16, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Unrestricted file upload in BasePress Migration Tools 1.0.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to upload web shells. The published records do not identify the upload handler or explain which server-side file-type validation is absent or bypassed. Subscriber-level WordPress access is required, and a successfully uploaded web shell enables code execution in the site's server context.
