Admin-assisted code execution via forged file upload
Published Apr 15, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in WPJobBoard before 5.11.1 allows remote attackers to upload a web shell through a forged request. The affected request handler fails to validate a WordPress nonce before permitting an attacker-chosen file upload, although the function is undisclosed. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to visit attacker-controlled content, after which the uploaded PHP shell executes code in the web server context.
