Summary
The Piotnet Addons for Elementor Pro plugin for WordPress up to version 7.1.70 has an arbitrary file upload vulnerability due to an incomplete extension blacklist – it only blocks php, phpt, php5, php7, and exe, but allows .phar and .phtml.
Risk Assessment
An unauthenticated attacker can upload a .phar or .phtml file and achieve remote code execution on the WordPress server.
Recommendation
Update the Piotnet Addons for Elementor Pro plugin to a version later than 7.1.70.
Original NVD description (English source)
The Piotnet Addons for Elementor Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file upload due to missing file type validation in the 'pafe_ajax_form_builder' function in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.70. The plugin uses an incomplete extension blacklist that only blocks php, phpt, php5, php7, and exe extensions, while allowing dangerous extensions such as .phar or .phtml to be uploaded. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. Note: The exploit can only be exploited if a file field is added to the form.
