Authenticated arbitrary file upload via missing type validation
Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 8, 2026
Arbitrary file upload in Global Programming WHMCS Bridge 6.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to write files to the server. The connect() function accepts attacker-controlled upload content without validating its file type before storing it on the affected WordPress host. Custom-level access or higher is required, and execution depends on the uploaded file being placed where the web server processes its type.
