WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The Booster Elite for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability (CVE-2024-1986) in versions up to and including 7.1.7. The vulnerability exists in the wcaddnew_product() function due to missing file type validation, affecting sites with enabled user product upload functionality (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from inadequate file type validation in the wcaddnew_product() function, which allows customer-level users and above to upload arbitrary files to the affected site's server. The vulnerability has received a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (Wordfence).
Impact
The vulnerability could potentially lead to remote code execution on the affected server when exploited successfully. This poses a significant security risk as attackers could gain unauthorized access to the server and execute malicious code (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Site administrators should update the Booster Elite for WooCommerce plugin to a version newer than 7.1.7. If immediate updating is not possible, it is recommended to disable the user product upload functionality until the update can be applied (Booster).
