Web shell upload via nonce-free Model Shop import
Published Sep 26, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025
CSRF in AR for WordPress 8.44 and earlier allows remote attackers to upload a web shell through a forged administrator request. The Model Shop import accepted file_urls in a GET request, auto-submitted the import without nonce validation, and failed to restrict downloaded file types or reject PHP payloads. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open a crafted link or page; the imported PHP file grants attacker-controlled code execution on the WordPress server.
