Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in quantumcloud WoowBot Pro Max woowbot-pro-max allows Using Malicious Files.This issue affects WoowBot Pro Max: from n/a through <= 14.1.7.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file upload in the WoowBot Pro Max WordPress plugin (quantumcloud) through version 14.1.7 allows an authenticated attacker to upload files of dangerous types, leading to remote code execution on the underlying WordPress host. The scope-change CVSS 9.9 reflects that a low-privileged account can pivot to full server compromise. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but Patchstack has confirmed and cataloged the flaw.
Technical ContextAI
WoowBot Pro Max is a commercial WooCommerce/WhatsApp chatbot plugin for WordPress (CPE cpe:2.3:a:quantumcloud:woowbot_pro_max). The root cause is CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type): a plugin upload handler fails to validate file extension, MIME type, or content, permitting a PHP or other executable script to be written into a web-accessible directory. In a WordPress context this typically maps to an AJAX or REST upload endpoint reachable by an authenticated session; once a .php payload lands under wp-content it can be requested directly and executed by the PHP interpreter, converting a file-write primitive into code execution.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version is identified in the provided data (fix listed as n/a), so upgrade to a fixed release once quantumcloud publishes one - track the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/woowbot-pro-max/vulnerability/wordpress-woowbot-pro-max-plugin-14-1-7-arbitrary-file-upload-vulnerability for the fixed version. In the interim, apply virtual patching via a WordPress WAF (Patchstack or equivalent) to block the malicious upload request; restrict or remove low-privileged account self-registration to shrink the pool of attackers who meet the PR:L requirement; and harden the WordPress uploads/plugin directories by denying PHP execution (e.g. an .htaccess or nginx rule blocking execution of scripts under wp-content/uploads), accepting that this can break legitimately server-side-processed uploads. If the plugin is not essential, deactivate and remove it until a patch ships.
