What the vulnerability does
The File Away plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to a missing capability check and missing file type validation in the upload() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.9.0.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

File Away versions up to 3.9.9.0.1 allow unauthenticated attackers to upload files without restriction. An attacker can send a crafted request over the network to upload arbitrary files to the server, potentially gaining the ability to run code or access sensitive data. No user interaction or special privileges are required.
What an attacker can do
Upload arbitrary files to the server without authentication.
Potential impact on your site
