AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated arbitrary file upload in the Extendons 'WordPress & WooCommerce Scraper Plugin, Import Data from Any Site' (versions <= 1.0.7) lets remote attackers upload arbitrary files, including PHP webshells, to vulnerable WordPress sites and gain code execution. The CVSS 10.0 score with Scope:Changed reflects that compromise of the plugin can escalate to full host takeover, though no public exploit was identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type), a class of flaw in which upload handlers fail to validate or restrict file extensions, MIME types, or destination paths. The affected component is a WordPress plugin distributed by Extendons (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:extendons:wordpress_&_woocommerce_scraper_plugin,_import_data_from_any_site) whose purpose is to scrape and import product data from arbitrary remote sites into WooCommerce. Because the upload endpoint is exposed without authentication, the typical WordPress upload-validation pipeline (capability checks via current_user_can, nonce verification, and wp_check_filetype_and_ext) is either bypassed or not invoked, allowing an attacker-supplied file to land inside the web-served directory tree where PHP can be executed by the server.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available per Patchstack advisory; a released patched version is not independently confirmed from the provided data, so administrators should upgrade to any Extendons-issued release strictly greater than 1.0.7 as soon as the vendor publishes one and consult https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/wp_scraper/vulnerability/wordpress-wordpress-woocommerce-scraper-plugin-import-data-from-any-site-plugin-1-0-7-arbitrary-file-upload-vulnerability for the canonical fix reference. Until a verified fixed build is installed, the highest-confidence mitigation is to deactivate and remove the plugin from WordPress, which fully closes the attack surface at the cost of losing the scraping/import functionality; if removal is not feasible, deny public access to the plugin's upload endpoint under /wp-content/plugins/wp_scraper/ via the web server or a WAF rule (Patchstack/Wordfence virtual patch), accepting that legitimate admin imports will also be blocked. As a hardening step, disable PHP execution inside wp-content/uploads via an .htaccess or nginx location rule so any file that does land cannot be executed, and audit uploads, web logs, and active themes/plugins for unfamiliar PHP files written on or after the plugin's installation date.
