Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-10960 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Brizy – Page Builder plugin for WordPress, stemming from missing file type validation in the 'storeUploads' function. It affects all versions up to and including 2.6.4. The flaw, associated with CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type), has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.9 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity due to its network accessibility, low complexity, and potential for high-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects.
Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to upload arbitrary files to the affected WordPress site's server. Successful exploitation may enable remote code execution, allowing attackers to execute malicious code in the context of the web server process.
References point to mitigation via an update to Brizy version 2.6.5, as evidenced by the WordPress plugin trac changeset addressing the issue in the editor/zip/archiver.php file. The Wordfence threat intelligence advisory provides further details on the vulnerability. Security practitioners should urge site owners to update the plugin immediately and review access controls for Contributor roles.

V5.1.1
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Malicious-code protection at entry points blocks dangerous file types from being accepted and executed.
Least functionality restricts the file types and automatic processing capabilities the system will accept.
Mobile-code controls define, authorize, and block unacceptable uploaded code before automatic processing occurs.

Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.
Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.
Secure development practices include input validation and file-type restrictions that prevent this weakness.
