College Publisher Import <= 0.1 - Arbitrary File Upload to RCE
Description
The plugin does not check for the uploaded CSV file to import, allowing high privilege users to upload arbitrary files, such as PHP, leading to RCE. Due to the lack of CSRF check, the issue could also be exploited via a CSRF attack. The issue has been escalated to WordPress on April 12th, 2021
