What the vulnerability does
The File Uploader for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the callback function for the 'add-image-data' REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to the Uploadcare service and subsequently download them on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
File Uploader for WooCommerce versions 1.0.3 and earlier do not properly validate uploaded files, allowing attackers to upload malicious files without authentication. An attacker can upload executable code, scripts, or other dangerous file types directly to the site. This can lead to complete site compromise, data theft, or malware distribution.
What an attacker can do
Upload and execute malicious files on the site without needing a user account.
Potential impact on your site
Attackers can run arbitrary code on your site, steal data, deface content, or use it to distribute malware.
Conditions required to exploit
Network access only; no authentication or user interaction required.
