Technical details

The Restaurant Zone theme for WordPress (versions up to and including 0.7.8) is vulnerable to an Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434). The flaw allows an authenticated attacker with 'Subscriber' level privileges to upload arbitrary files, such as PHP scripts, to the server. Because the application fails to properly validate file extensions or content, an attacker can achieve remote code execution (RCE) by accessing the uploaded file. This vulnerability has a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, as indicated by its CVSS score of 9.9. A patch is available in version 0.7.9.
