Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in 7oroof Medcity medcity allows Upload a Web Shell to a Web Server.This issue affects Medcity: from n/a through < 1.1.9.
AnalysisAI
Unrestricted file upload in the Medcity WordPress theme before version 1.1.9 allows unauthenticated attackers to upload a web shell, leading to complete compromise of the web server. This vulnerability, rated critical with CVSS 10.0 and CWE-434, is not currently listed in CISA KEV, and the EPSS score of 0.06% indicates low probability of widespread exploitation.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the file upload functionality of the Medcity theme (CWE-434: Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type). The theme fails to properly validate file types or enforce authentication for upload endpoints, allowing arbitrary file uploads (e.g., PHP scripts) to the server. The CVSS vector indicates the attack originates from the network (AV:N), requires no privileges or user interaction, and can achieve a scope change (S:C) by writing executable files outside the theme's normal context.
Affected ProductsAI
Medcity theme by 7oroof, versions below 1.1.9. Affected installations run on WordPress. Patchstack advisory: https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/medcity/vulnerability/wordpress-medcity-theme-1-1-9-arbitrary-file-upload-vulnerability?_s_id=cve
RemediationAI
Update the Medcity theme to version 1.1.9 or later, which contains the fix. As a temporary measure, restrict access to any file upload endpoints by IP allowlisting or authentication enforcement if possible, or disable the theme's file-upload feature entirely until the update can be applied, though these mitigations may break legitimate functionality. Refer to the Patchstack advisory for detailed patch information and vendor guidance.
