Summary

The Pie Register Premium plugin for WordPress is affected in all versions up to and including 3.8.4.0. The piereg_file_upload function does not check whether file type validation failed before saving the file, and its AJAX handler has no nonce or capability check (CWE-434). An unauthenticated attacker can upload file types such as PHP scripts, which may enable remote code execution.

Description from the CNA

The Pie Register Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unrestricted File Type Upload in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.4.0 via the piereg_file_upload function. This is due to the plugin performing file type validation via wp_check_filetype and wp_check_filetype_and_ext but never checking whether those validation calls produced errors before move_uploaded_file() is called, combined with no nonce or capability check on the AJAX handler. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload files of dangerous types (e.g. PHP scripts) that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. The server returns the generated destination filename in the response, giving the attacker the exact path needed to trigger the uploaded file.
