The PostGallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to incorrect file type validation in the 'PostGalleryUploader' class functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.12.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level and above permissions, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Analysis
The PostGallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to incorrect file type validation in the 'PostGalleryUploader' class functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.12.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level and above permissions, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
Technical Context
Unrestricted file upload allows attackers to upload malicious files (web shells, executables) that can then be executed on the server. This vulnerability is classified as Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type (CWE-434).
Remediation
Validate file types by content (magic bytes), not just extension. Store uploads outside the web root. Use random filenames. Scan uploads for malware.
