Este problema afecta a Folders – Unlimited Folders to Organize Media Library Folder, Pages, Posts, File Manager: desde n/ a hasta 2.9.2.

The Folders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the handle_folders_file_upload function in versions up to, and including, 2.9.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level permissions or above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
