Description

The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload - Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to insufficient file type validation in the &#39;dnd_upload_cf7_upload&#39; function in versions up to, and including, 1.3.7.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site&#39;s server which may make remote code execution possible. This can be exploited if a user authorized to edit form, which means editor privileges or above, has added a &#39;multiple file upload&#39; form field with &#39;*&#39; acceptable file types.
