What the vulnerability does
The StoryChief plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.42. This vulnerability occurs through the /wp-json/storychief/webhook REST-API endpoint that does not have sufficient filetype validation. 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

An attacker can upload malicious files to the server over the network without needing credentials or user interaction. This can lead to remote code execution, data theft, or site takeover depending on where uploaded files are stored and executed.
What an attacker can do
