CVE-2025-7438
The MasterStudy LMS Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to insufficient file type validation in the 'install_and_activate_plugin' function in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. The vulnerability is difficult to exploit due to timing requirements and environmental factors.

"value": "El complemento MasterStudy LMS Pro para WordPress es vulnerable a la carga de archivos arbitrarios debido a una validación insuficiente del tipo de archivo en la función \"install_and_activate_plugin\" en todas las versiones hasta la 4.7.9 incluida. Esto permite que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de suscriptor o superior, carguen archivos arbitrarios en el servidor del sitio afectado, lo que podría posibilitar la ejecución remota de código. Esta vulnerabilidad es difícil de explotar debido a los requisitos de tiempo y a factores del entorno."
