5DescriptionCVE.org
The Depicter - Popup & Slider Builder WordPress plugin before 4.8.0 does not validate the type of a file uploaded through its import feature and does not remove a malformed upload, allowing users with editor-level access to write an arbitrary file (including executable PHP) into a web-accessible directory, which can lead to remote code execution.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in the Depicter Popup & Slider Builder WordPress plugin (all versions before 4.8.0) is achievable by authenticated editor-level users who exploit the plugin's import feature to upload arbitrary PHP files to web-accessible directories. The plugin performs no file type validation and does not remove malformed or rejected uploads, allowing a PHP webshell to persist and be directly executed via HTTP request. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with at minimum editor-level privileges - this is the single most important limiting factor. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 7.2 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H correctly reflects that while the C/I/A impact is maximal post-exploitation, the PR:H metric - requiring editor-level WordPress credentials - is the primary risk limiter. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Update the Depicter - Popup & Slider Builder plugin to version 4.8.0 or later, which is the vendor-confirmed patched release addressing both the missing file type validation and the failure to remove malformed uploads. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
