DescriptionCVE.org

The Workreap plugin for WordPress, used by the Workreap - Freelance Marketplace WordPress Theme, is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'workreap_temp_upload_to_media' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.2. 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.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Organizations running Workreap WordPress theme versions up to 3.3.2 face a critical remote code execution risk, as authenticated users can upload malicious files to the server without validation. This vulnerability enables attackers with basic user accounts to potentially compromise entire websites and underlying infrastructure.

Business Impact: High

Compensating Controls

Disable the workreap_temp_upload_to_media function via code modification; implement WAF rules to block requests to vulnerable upload endpoints; restrict file upload permissions at the server level to prevent execution of uploaded files; enable strict PHP execution restrictions in upload directories via .htaccess or web server configuration; implement robust file integrity monitoring on upload directories; conduct immediate user access audits to limit Subscriber-level accounts; isolate affected WordPress instances on separate network segments with egress filtering.
