What the vulnerability does
01Description
The VikRentCar Car Rental Management System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the do_updatecar and createcar functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server, which may make remote code execution possible.

VikRentCar versions 1.4.3 and earlier allow authenticated administrators to upload files without proper validation. An attacker with admin credentials can upload malicious files to the server, potentially gaining the ability to run their own code.
