Descriptions

The AdSanity plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'ajax_upload' function in versions up to, and including, 1.8.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Contributor+ level privileges to upload arbitrary files on the affected sites server which makes remote code execution possible.

El plugin AdSanity para WordPress es vulnerable a la subida de archivos arbitrarios debido a la falta de validación del tipo de archivo en la función "ajax_upload" en las versiones hasta la 1.8.1 inclusive. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados con privilegios de nivel "Contributor+" carguen archivos arbitrarios en el servidor de los sitios afectados, lo que posibilita la ejecución remota de código.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xen, the worst of which could lead to privilege escalation. Versions greater than or equal to 4.17.4 are affected.
