Event Banner <= 1.3 - Cross-Site Request Forgery

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

CVE	CVE-2021-24252
CVSS	High (7.2)
Publicly Published	April 10, 2021
Last Updated	January 22, 2024
Researcher	Jin Huang

Description

The Event Banner WordPress plugin through 1.3 does not verify the uploaded image file, allowing admin accounts to upload arbitrary files, such as .exe, .php, or others executable, leading to RCE. Due to the lack of CSRF check, the issue can also be used via such vector to achieve the same result, or via a LFI as authorisation checks are missing (but would require WP to be loaded)
