Workreap - Freelance Marketplace and Directory WordPress Theme < 2.2.2 - Arbitrary File Upload

Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
CVE CVE-2021-24499
CVSS Critical (9.8)
Publicly Published July 2, 2021
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Researcher Harald Eilertsen
Description

The Workreap WordPress theme before 2.2.2 AJAX actions workreap_award_temp_file_uploader and workreap_temp_file_uploader did not perform nonce checks, or validate that the request is from a valid user in any other way. The endpoints allowed for uploading arbitrary files to the uploads/workreap-temp directory. Uploaded files were neither sanitized nor validated, allowing an unauthenticated visitor to upload executable code such as php scripts.
