Descriptions

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the ivole_import_upload_csv AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 5.38.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

El complemento Customer Reviews for WooCommerce para WordPress es vulnerable a cargas de archivos arbitrarias debido a la falta de validación del tipo de archivo en la acción ivole_import_upload_csv AJAX en todas las versiones hasta la 5.38.9 incluida. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de autor y superior, carguen archivos arbitrarios en el servidor del sitio afectado, lo que puede hacer posible la ejecución remota de código.
