DescriptionNVD

The Piotnet Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload due to missing file type validation in the 'piotnetforms_ajax_form_builder' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.40. The plugin uses an incomplete extension blacklist that only blocks php, phpt, php5, php7, and exe extensions, while allowing dangerous extensions such as .phar or .phtml to be uploaded. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. Note: The exploit can only be exploited if a file field is added to the form.

Arbitrary file upload in the Piotnet Forms WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 2.1.40) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to upload dangerous file types such as .phar and .phtml, potentially leading to remote code execution on the underlying web server. The flaw stems from an incomplete extension blacklist in the piotnetforms_ajax_form_builder AJAX handler, and exploitation requires that a form on the site include a file upload field. …
