DescriptionCVE.org

The WPLP Cookie Consent - Cookie Banner & Consent Management for GDPR, CCPA & Google Consent Mode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload due to missing file type validation in the saas_upload_logo() function combined with an authorization bypass on the WPLP connector REST endpoints in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated arbitrary file upload in the WPLP Cookie Consent (GDPR/CCPA cookie banner) plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 4.4.1, allows remote attackers to plant executable files on the server and potentially achieve remote code execution. The flaw stems from missing file-type validation in the saas_upload_logo() function combined with an authorization bypass on the WPLP connector REST endpoints, so no login is required. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No authentication required - the WPLP connector REST endpoints contain an authorization bypass, and saas_upload_logo() performs no file-type validation, so exploitation works against default installations of vulnerable versions (≤4.4.1) reachable over the network. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment All available signals point to genuine high priority: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H) describes network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with full impact, consistent with the description's claim of unauthenticated arbitrary upload leading to possible RCE. … 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 plugin to the fixed release published above version 4.4.1 (the corrective code is in WordPress.org changeset 3674117 at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3674117/gdpr-cookie-consent; install the latest available version from the plugin's Updates page - an exact fixed version number was not provided in the input, so verify against the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/96a2a552-e73f-4b27-88de-50eb63a8d131). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Deactivate the WPLP Cookie Consent plugin and deploy Web Application Firewall rules blocking all POST requests to /wp-json/wplp REST endpoints. …
