CVE-2024-2381 is a high-severity Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434) vulnerability in Ali2Woo Aliexpress Dropshipping With Alinext. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 43% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-3 (Malicious Code Protection) and CM-7 (Least Functionality) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
The AliExpress Dropshipping with AliNext Lite plugin for WordPress is affected by an arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CWE-434) present in all versions through 3.3.5. The flaw stems from missing file type validation inside the ajax_save_image function, allowing an authenticated user to place attacker-controlled files on the server. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8.
An attacker with subscriber-level (or higher) WordPress credentials can invoke the vulnerable AJAX handler to upload arbitrary files, including web shells, and thereby achieve remote code execution on the hosting server. No user interaction or special network conditions are required beyond standard authenticated access to the site.
Public references point to a patched changeset in the plugin’s WooCommerceProductEditController.php file and to Wordfence advisory data that recommend updating to a fixed release. Site administrators should apply the latest plugin version and verify that file-upload endpoints are restricted to expected MIME types and directories.
EPSS for the CVE rose from lower values to a peak of 0.1282 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current 0.0959, indicating measurable post-disclosure exploitation interest that warrants renewed attention.

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.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Restricting execution of unauthorized software directly blocks dangerous uploaded files from running.
Hardened configuration baselines can enforce allowed file types and processing rules.
Secure development practices include input validation and file-type restrictions that prevent this weakness.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Configuration and acceptance testing verify that file-upload handling enforces allowed types and does not permit dangerous content to be stored or executed.
Secure-coding guidelines and security testing explicitly address restrictions on allowed file types and upload handling, reducing the risk that dangerous file uploads are accepted without validation.
Mandated testing for malicious content and known vulnerabilities reduces the likelihood that an outsourced component will contain or accept dangerous file types that could later be uploaded or executed.
Application allow-listing and pre-use scanning of received files directly blocks the introduction of executable content that has not been vetted, eliminating the primary vector for unrestricted dangerous file uploads.
