Descriptions

The Directorist WordPress plugin before 7.2.3 allows administrators to download other plugins from the same vendor directly to the site, but does not check the URL domain it gets the zip files from. This could allow administrators to run code on the server, which is a problem in multisite configurations.

El plugin Directorist de WordPress versiones anteriores a 7.2.3, permite a administradores descargar otros plugins del mismo proveedor directamente en el sitio, pero no comprueba el dominio de la URL de la que obtiene los archivos zip. Esto podría permitir a administradores ejecutar código en el servidor, lo cual es un problema en configuraciones multisitio

The Directorist plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation via the atbdp_download_file() AJAX action in versions up to, and including, 7.2.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrative privileges to upload arbitrary files on the affected sites server which may make remote code execution possible. This only affects sites where administrator have been restricted in their uploading files capabilities.
