CVE-2025-5061

The WP Import Export Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'wpie_parse_upload_data' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.29. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, and permissions granted by an Administrator, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 3.9.29.

Summary
  • (es) El complemento WP Import Export Lite para WordPress es vulnerable a la carga de archivos arbitrarios debido a la falta de validación del tipo de archivo en la función 'wpie_parse_upload_data' en todas las versiones hasta la 3.9.29 incluida. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de suscriptor o superior, y permisos otorgados por un administrador, carguen archivos arbitrarios en el servidor del sitio afectado, lo que podría posibilitar la ejecución remota de código. La vulnerabilidad se corrigió parcialmente en la versión 3.9.29.
