Description
The Demo Import Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0 via the import functionality. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

Impact

The Demo Import Kit plugin for WordPress suffers from missing file type validation that permits the upload of any file through its import feature. This flaw is a classic example of CWE‑434. An authenticated attacker with Administrator privileges can upload arbitrary files, potentially including malicious scripts or executables, thereby enabling remote code execution on the affected server.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all installations of the Demo Import Kit plugin from the themeinwp vendor, specifically any version up to and including 1.1.0.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 7.2, indicating high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation at this time. It is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be a local authenticated user with Administrator privileges; the absence of file type checks allows the attacker to deposit executable content that can be later triggered to run server‑side.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Demo Import Kit plugin to the latest available version or a patch that includes file type validation
  • If an update is not possible, remove or disable the import functionality entirely to eliminate the upload vector
  • Implement additional server‑side checks to allow only trusted file types and monitor the upload directory for unauthorized files
