Description
The ProSolution WP Client plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.10 via the proSol_handleFileUpload function. This is due to missing validation of the attacker-controlled Content-Disposition header filename, which overrides the allow-listed multipart filename before the file is saved, and a post-save extension check that fails to delete the already-written file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. The nonce required to reach the upload handler is publicly exposed via wp_localize_script on any front-end page rendering the job portal shortcode, allowing unauthenticated visitors to obtain a valid nonce and bypass that gating check entirely.

AI Analysis

Impact

The ProSolution WP Client plugin for WordPress contains an arbitrary file upload flaw caused by missing validation of the attacker‑controlled Content‑Disposition header filename. The filename supplied in this header overrides the allow‑listed multipart filename before the file is written, and a post‑save extension check fails to delete the file when the extension is not permitted. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can upload executable files, leading to potential remote code execution. The nonce required to access the upload handler is publicly exposed via wp_localize_script on any front‑end page that renders the job portal shortcode, allowing visitors to obtain a valid nonce and bypass the authentication check entirely. The weakness is a classic file‑upload under‑validation (CWE‑434).

Affected Systems

All installations of ProSolution WP Client up to and including version 2.0.10 on WordPress sites are vulnerable. The issue exists in the proSol_handleFileUpload function across all affected releases.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 9.8 indicates critical severity, and although the EPSS score is not provided, the lack of an EPSS value does not diminish the high risk. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can exploit it by crafting an HTTP request that includes a malicious Content‑Disposition header, injecting code, and then triggering the upload via the exposed nonce. Successful exploitation would allow the attacker to write and execute files on the target web server, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the entire website.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update ProSolution WP Client to a version newer than 2.0.10, which removes the uncontrolled file‑upload flaw.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, restrict unauthenticated access to the upload endpoint by implementing authentication checks or by disabling the job portal shortcode on public pages.
  • Audit the plugin’s file‑upload handling code to ensure that all filenames are validated against an allow‑list, that the Content‑Disposition header is ignored or checked, and that any file with an disallowed extension is deleted immediately after detection.
