The Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 1.1.1 does not filter all potentially dangerous file extensions. Therefore, an attacker can upload unsafe .shtml or .svg files containing malicious scripts.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-4821 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
