Descriptions
The SEO LAT Auto Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to file overwrite due to a missing capability check on the remote_update AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the seo-beginner-auto-post.php file which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution.
El complemento SEO LAT Auto Post para WordPress es vulnerable a la sobrescritura de archivos debido a una falta de verificación de capacidad en la acción AJAX remote_update en todas las versiones hasta la 2.2.1 incluida. Esto permite que atacantes no autenticados sobrescriban el archivo seo-beginner-auto-post.php, lo que puede aprovecharse para lograr la ejecución remota de código.
