Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in kodeshpa Simplified allows Using Malicious Files. This issue affects Simplified: from n/a through 1.0.6.

The Simplified Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
