The AF Companion WordPress plugin before 2.2.0 does not validate the type of files uploaded through one of its import features, allowing users with a low-privileged store-management role to upload arbitrary files, including PHP ones, leading to Remote Code Execution.

AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in the AF Companion WordPress plugin before version 2.2.0 lets an authenticated user who holds the plugin's low-privileged 'store-management' role upload arbitrary files, including PHP, through an import feature that performs no file-type validation. Because the uploaded PHP is executable by the web server, an attacker with that mid-tier account - a WooCommerce shop-manager-tier role rather than a full administrator - can place and run code on the host with no user interaction and no non-default configuration required. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires an authenticated WordPress account with the plugin's 'store-management' role (a WooCommerce shop-manager-tier account, not full admin), plus access to AF Companion's file import feature on a site running the plugin before version 2.2.0. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuinely high-priority vulnerability. … 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 | Vendor-released patch: upgrade AF Companion to version 2.2.0 or later - this is the only fix that closes the arbitrary-file-upload path, and it should be applied immediately on any site where store-management accounts are delegated or shared with vendors, staff, or third parties. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory every WordPress and WooCommerce installation for the AF Companion plugin, confirm whether any version below 2.2.0 is present, and update to version 2.2.0 or later-or disable the plugin if operations allow-while auditing accounts that hold the plugin's store-management role to remove unused or untrusted holders. …
