Technical details

The check_mimetype function in the plugin performs incomplete file type validation, allowing extension-based checks to be bypassed without proper MIME type validation or use of WordPress upload helpers. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access can upload executable files when the "profile videos on bio" option is enabled, as this exposes the required nonce on the subscriber-accessible profile page. Remote code execution is possible once a malicious file is uploaded to the server.
