Deeper analysis
The Jupiter X Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads because of improper file type validation inside the validate function. The flaw affects all versions through 4.6.5 and is tracked as CWE-434. Successful exploitation can allow an attacker to place arbitrary files on the server, which may lead to remote code execution. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8.
Unauthenticated attackers can exploit the vulnerability over the network without any user interaction or credentials. By sending a crafted request that bypasses the flawed validation, an adversary can upload a malicious file such as a web shell and subsequently execute arbitrary code on the affected WordPress site.
