Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Jiemook.

The WPLP Cookie Consent – Cookie Banner & Consent Management for GDPR, CCPA & Google Consent Mode plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.1. This is due to missing file type validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server, which may make remote code execution possible.
