AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, restrict Author-level user permissions where possible and monitor for suspicious file uploads. Consider disabling or removing the mFolio Lite plugin if it is not essential. Implement additional file upload restrictions or scanning at the web server or application firewall level to block dangerous file types.
Description
The mFolio Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to file uploads due to a missing capability check in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the SVG file or upload arbitrary EXE files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible if the attacker can also gain access to run the .exe file, or trick a site visitor into downloading and running the .exe file.
