WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

Classyfrieds <= 3.8 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Upload to RCE

Description

The plugin does not properly check the uploaded file when an authenticated user adds a listing, only checking the content-type in the request. This allows any authenticated user to upload arbitrary PHP files via the Add Listing feature of the plugin, leading to RCE.
