Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-13342 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Booster for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, stemming from missing file type validation in the 'add_files_to_order' function. It affects all versions up to and including 7.2.4. The flaw, classified under CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type), carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.1 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to potential high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this over the network by uploading arbitrary files with double extensions to the affected site's server. While this may enable remote code execution, exploitation is limited to select instances where server configurations execute files based on the first extension present, contributing to the high attack complexity (AC:H) rating.
Advisories reference the vulnerable code in class-wcj-checkout-files-upload.php at line 452 and a patch in WordPress plugin changeset 3262569. Security practitioners should update to a version beyond 7.2.4 via the WordPress plugin repository, as detailed in the Wordfence threat intelligence report, to mitigate the issue.

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.
