CVE-2024-7484
Published: 06 August 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-7484 is a high-severity Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434) vulnerability in Crmperks Crm Perks Forms. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 6.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
The CRM Perks Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads in versions up to and including 1.1.3. The flaw stems from insufficient file validation in the handle_uploaded_files function, which permits unauthenticated file-type checks to be bypassed during form processing on the affected component.
Authenticated attackers holding administrator-level privileges or higher can exploit the issue over the network to upload arbitrary files to the server. Successful exploitation may result in remote code execution, as indicated by the CVSS 7.2 rating that reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability without requiring user interaction.
Public references point to a patched changeset in the plugin repository that addresses the upload handling logic, along with detailed vulnerability analysis from Wordfence. The EPSS score remains flat at 0.1198 with no material increase after disclosure.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Requiring identifiable owners for portable devices reduces the attack surface for unrestricted uploads of dangerous file types via anonymous media.
Dangerous file uploads can be detonated in the chamber to determine malice before any production write or execution occurs.
Prevents unrestricted writing of arbitrary or malicious firmware by keeping hardware write-protect enabled except under tightly controlled manual procedures.
Scans files from external sources on download/open/execute, blocking unrestricted uploads of dangerous file types.
