Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Adrien Thierry.
The User Meta plugin for wordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Uploads in versions up to, and including 1.1.1, due to insufficient file type validation in the user-meta/framework/helper/uploader.php file. This makes it possible for attackers to upload malicious files and achieve remote code execution.
