What the vulnerability does
The Ovatheme Events Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the process_checkout() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.5. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Ovatheme Events Manager versions 1.8.5 and earlier allow unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to the server without restriction. An attacker can exploit this over the network without any special privileges or user interaction to upload malicious files, potentially leading to remote code execution and complete site compromise.
What an attacker can do
Upload arbitrary files to the server and execute malicious code without authentication.
Potential impact on your site
Complete compromise of the site; attacker can run code, steal data, and modify or delete content.
Conditions required to exploit
Network access only; no authentication or user interaction required.
