GoDAM <= 1.12.2 — Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload via WPForms File Upload Field

Am I affected?

• Check your version: in wp-admin go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and read the version under GoDAM – Video Hosting for LMS & Online Courses.
• No admin access? Run a passive check of your site. It reads public files only.
• No account is needed to exploit this. Treat any exposed site on an affected version as at risk.

What to do

1. Update to version 2.0.0, or a newer patched version
2. Rotate administrator passwords and application secrets if the site ran a vulnerable version while publicly reachable.
3. Watch GoDAM – Video Hosting for LMS & Online Courses to get an email when the next vulnerability is published.

Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to CHOIGYEONGMIN.

The GoDAM – Organize WordPress Media Library & File Manager with Unlimited Folders for Images, Videos & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads in versions up to, and including, 1.12.2. This is due to insufficient file type validation in the save_video_file() function hooked into WPForms' public wpforms_process_before_filter, which trusts the attacker-supplied multipart Content-Type header, preserves the original filename via wp_unique_filename(), and moves the raw upload with $wp_filesystem->move() into a web-served directory — bypassing wp_handle_upload()'s MIME/extension allowlist. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
