Descriptions

The Asgaros Forum WordPress plugin before 2.7.1 allows forum administrators, who may not be WordPress (super-)administrators, to set insecure configuration that allows unauthenticated users to upload dangerous files (e.g. .php, .phtml), potentially leading to remote code execution.

El complemento Asgaros Forum de WordPress anterior a 2.7.1 permite a los administradores del foro, que pueden no ser (super)administradores de WordPress, establecer una configuración insegura que permite a usuarios no autenticados cargar archivos peligrosos (por ejemplo, .php, .phtml), lo que podría generar una ejecución remota de código.

The Asgaros Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized control of the plugin's settings due to an insufficient capability check on the forum options update in all versions up to 2.7.1 (exclusive). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to modify the plugin's settings so that they can upload malicious PHP files that can be used for remote code execution.
