Description
The Infility Global plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation and capability checks in all versions up to, and including, 2.14.42. This is due to the `upload_file` function in the `infility_import_file` class only validating the MIME type which can be easily spoofed, and the `import_data` function missing capability checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Infility Global plugin for WordPress contains missing file type validation and capability checks in its file upload functions. Authenticated users with subscriber or higher privileges can upload arbitrary files by forging MIME types, and no restriction is applied on the file contents. This flaw permits attackers to place malicious payloads on the server, potentially enabling remote code execution and jeopardizing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the site.

Affected Systems

Infility Global plugin for WordPress, versions 2.14.42 and earlier.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 8.8, indicating high severity. With an EPSS score of less than 1% and not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the likelihood of exploitation is low, but not negligible. Attackers would need authenticated access at the subscriber level or higher, implying the attack vector is an authenticated web application interaction. If exploited, an attacker could upload executable files that might be executed by the server, yielding full remote code execution.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Infility Global plugin to a version newer than 2.14.42.
  • Restrict file upload capabilities for subscriber role via plugin settings or a role‑management extension.
  • Enforce a file‑type whitelist at the server or WordPress security plugin level to reject executable uploads.
