CVE-2025-32202Network attack vector

Web-shell upload via missing file-type validation

Published Apr 10, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Arbitrary upload in Insert or Embed Articulate Content into WordPress 4.3000000025 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to upload web shells. The package-upload path fails to reject dangerous file types in course archives, including .htaccess files that can alter server handling. Editor-level access is required; a crafted archive can place a web shell on the site and execute code in the web server context.
