Descriptions

The Workreap WordPress theme before 2.2.2 AJAX actions workreap_award_temp_file_uploader and workreap_temp_file_uploader did not perform nonce checks, or validate that the request is from a valid user in any other way. The endpoints allowed for uploading arbitrary files to the uploads/workreap-temp directory. Uploaded files were neither sanitized nor validated, allowing an unauthenticated visitor to upload executable code such as php scripts.

El tema Workreap WordPress versiones anteriores a 2.2.2, las acciones AJAX workreap_award_temp_file_uploader y workreap_temp_file_uploader, no llevaban a cabo comprobaciones de nonce, ni comprueban que la petición proviene de un usuario válido de ninguna otra forma. Los endpoints permitían subir archivos arbitrarios al directorio uploads/workreap-temp. Los archivos subidos no se saneaban ni se comprobaban, permitiendo a un visitante no autenticado subir código ejecutable como scripts php

WordPress theme Workreap version 2.2.2 suffers from a remote shell upload vulnerabilities.
