Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Bonds.

The Pin = Pinterest Style / Personal Masonry Blog / Front-end Submission theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in all versions up to 7.2 (exclusive). 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.
