Descriptions

The MapPress Maps for WordPress plugin before 2.73.13 allows a high privileged user to bypass the DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT and DISALLOW_FILE_MODS settings and upload arbitrary files to the site through the "ajax_save" function. The file is written relative to the current 's stylesheet directory, and a .php file extension is added. No validation is performed on the content of the file, triggering an RCE vulnerability by uploading a web shell. Further the name parameter is not sanitized, allowing the payload to be uploaded to any directory to which the server has write access.

El plugin MapPress Maps para WordPress versiones anteriores a 2.73.13, permite a un usuario con altos privilegios omitir las configuraciones DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT y DISALLOW_FILE_MODS y subir archivos arbitrarios al sitio mediante la función "ajax_save". El archivo es escrito en relación con el directorio de la hoja de estilo actual, y es añadida una extensión de archivo .php. No es llevada a cabo ninguna comprobación del contenido del archivo, desencadenando una vulnerabilidad de tipo RCE al subir un shell web. Además, el parámetro de nombre no está saneado, permitiendo que la carga útil sea cargada en cualquier directorio al que el servidor tenga acceso de escritura
