What the vulnerability does
01Description
The Infility Global plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation and capability checks in all versions up to, and including, 2.14.42. This is due to the `upload_file` function in the `infility_import_file` class only validating the MIME type which can be easily spoofed, and the `import_data` function missing capability checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
02Summary
Infility Global versions up to 2.14.42 allow authenticated users to upload files without proper validation. An attacker with low-level access can upload malicious files to the server, potentially executing code or compromising site integrity. No user interaction is required. Update to a version newer than 2.14.42.
