WooCommerce Upload Files <= 59.3 - Arbitrary File Upload

9.8
Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
CVE CVE-2021-24171
CVSS 9.8 (Critical)
Publicly Published March 4, 2021
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Researcher Ram - Wordfence

Description

The WooCommerce Upload Files WordPress plugin before 59.4 ran a single sanitization pass to remove blocked extensions such as .php. It was possible to bypass this and upload a file with a PHP extension by embedding a "blocked" extension within another "blocked" extension in the "wcuf_file_name" parameter. It was also possible to perform a double extension attack and upload files to a different location via path traversal using the "wcuf_current_upload_session_id" parameter.

Wordfence blocked 3 attacks targeting this vulnerability in the past 24 hours.
