Description

The Auto Featured Image plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'create_post_attachment_from_url' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level and above permissions, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

Affected products and versions

  • ka-yue Auto Featured Image — Up to and including 1.2
  • kayueyeung auto_featured_image — Up to and including 1.2
  • auto-featured-image_project auto-featured-image — Up to and including 1.2
