CVE-2024-8725
Multiple plugins and/or themes for WordPress are vulnerable to Limited File Upload in various versions. This is due to a lack of proper checks to ensure lower-privileged roles cannot upload .css and .js files to arbitrary directories. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, and granted permissions by an administrator, to upload .css and .js files to any directory within the WordPress root directory, which could lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting. The Advanced File Manager Shortcodes plugin must be installed to exploit this vulnerability.

Esto se debe a la falta de controles adecuados para garantizar que los roles con privilegios más bajos no puedan cargar archivos .css y .js en directorios arbitrarios. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de suscriptor o superior, y con permisos otorgados por un administrador, carguen archivos .css y .js en cualquier directorio dentro del directorio raíz de WordPress, lo que podría provocar Cross-Site Scripting almacenado. El complemento Advanced File Manager Shortcodes debe estar instalado para aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad."
