What the vulnerability does
The Doccure theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to incorrect file type validation in the 'doccure_temp_file_uploader' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level and above permissions, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Doccure versions 1.5.0 and earlier allow authenticated users to upload files without proper validation. An attacker with low-level access can upload malicious files to the server, potentially executing code or compromising the application. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
What an attacker can do
Upload and execute malicious files on the server to run code or steal data.
Potential impact on your site
Compromised sites can have data stolen, files modified, or the entire application taken over by an attacker with basic user access.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege user account on the Doccure installation.
