Administrator-only arbitrary upload via unchecked import
Published Oct 15, 2025 · Updated Oct 15, 2025
Arbitrary file upload in Demo Import Kit 1.1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to write files through demo imports. The import functionality accepts uploaded files without validating their types, allowing dangerous executable content to reach the server. Administrator-level access is required; successful placement of an executable file can lead to code execution in the WordPress server context.
