What the vulnerability does
The WP FOFT Loader plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to incorrect file type validation in the 'WP_FOFT_Loader_Mimes::file_and_ext' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.39. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
WP FOFT Loader versions 2.1.39 and earlier allow authenticated users to upload files without proper validation. An attacker with low-level site access can upload malicious files to execute code on the server. This affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the site.
What an attacker can do
