What the vulnerability does
The Slider Future plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'slider_future_handle_image_upload' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.5. 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

An attacker can upload malicious files (such as PHP scripts) over the network with no authentication required. This can lead to complete compromise of the site, including data theft, defacement, and malware installation.
What an attacker can do
Upload arbitrary files to the site and execute malicious code without authentication.
Potential impact on your site
