Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in Gesundheit Bewegt GmbH Zippy zippy allows Using Malicious Files.This issue affects Zippy: from n/a through <= 1.7.0.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file upload in the WordPress Zippy plugin (<=1.7.0) allows authenticated administrators to upload malicious files, leading to remote code execution and full server compromise. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis. EPSS score of 0.06% indicates low likelihood of widespread exploitation.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is an unrestricted file upload (CWE-434) in the Zippy plugin for WordPress, allowing the upload of files with dangerous extensions. Based on the CPE string 'a:gesundheit-bewegt-gmbh:zippy', the affected component is the PHP-based WordPress plugin. The root cause is insufficient validation of file types and content during the upload process, enabling server-side code execution.
Affected ProductsAI
The WordPress Zippy plugin (gesundheit-bewegt-gmbh:zippy) versions from n/a through 1.7.0 are affected. The official vendor advisory is available at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/zippy/vulnerability/wordpress-zippy-plugin-1-7-0-arbitrary-file-upload-vulnerability?_s_id=cve.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version has been identified at time of analysis. As a workaround, administrators should disable the Zippy plugin until a patched version is released (side-effect: loss of plugin functionality). Additionally, restrict dashboard access to trusted super-admins only and implement a Web Application Firewall rule to block uploads of executable file types to the plugin's upload endpoint (may cause false positives for legitimate file types).
