Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Luca Ercoli.

The Ultimate Product Catalog plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the Functions/Prepare_Data_For_Insertion.php file in versions up to, and including, 4.2.22. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers (before version 3.1.2) and authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above (before version 4.2.22), to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
