Technical details

The WPForms Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in versions up to 1.10.1.1. The flaw exists within the 'ajax_chunk_upload_finalize' function, where file type validation is performed only after the file chunks and metadata have been written to the disk. Because the plugin fails to delete the assembled file if validation fails, an unauthenticated attacker can successfully place executable files on the server. This vulnerability can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution (RCE). The attack complexity is rated as high, likely due to the specific requirements of the chunked upload process.
