Descriptions

WordPress version <4.9 contains a CWE-20 Input Validation vulnerability in thumbnail processing that can result in remote code execution. This attack appears to be exploitable via thumbnail upload by an authenticated user and may require additional plugins in order to be exploited however this has not been confirmed at this time. This issue appears to have been partially, but not completely fixed in WordPress 4.9

WordPress en versiones anteriores a la 4.9 contiene una vulnerabilidad de validación de entradas (CWE-20) en el procesamiento de miniaturas que puede resultar en la ejecución remota de código. El ataque parece ser explotable mediante una miniatura subida por un usuario autenticado y podría requerir plugins adicionales para su explotación. Sin embargo, esto aún no ha sido confirmado. El problema parece haber sido parcialmente solucionado, pero no completamente, en la versión 4.9 de WordPress.
