CVE-2024-12300 – AR for WordPress <= 7.3 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Limited File Upload

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-12300

12 Dec 2024 — The AR for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized double extension file upload due to a missing capability check on the set_ar_featured_image() function in all versions up to, and including, 7.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload php files leveraging a double extension attack. It's important to note the file is deleted immediately and double extension attacks only work on select servers making this unlikely to be successfully exploited. • https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ar-for-wordpress/trunk/includes/ar-add-media.php?rev=3177638 • CWE-862: Missing Authorization •
