What the vulnerability does
The ProjectList plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in all versions up to, and including, 0.3.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-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
ProjectList versions 0.3.0 and earlier allow authenticated administrators to upload files without proper validation. An attacker with high-level privileges can upload malicious files to the server, potentially gaining control over the application. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
What an attacker can do
Upload malicious files to the server and execute arbitrary code or compromise the application.
Potential impact on your site
