Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
CVE CVE-2024-9307
CVSS Critical (9.9)
Publicly Published November 5, 2024

Researcher Francesco Carlucci
Description

The mFolio Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to file uploads due to a missing capability check in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file or upload arbitrary EXE files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible if the attacker can also gain access to run the .exe file, or trick a site visitor into downloading and running the .exe file.
