CVE-2024-9660: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in dasinfomedia School Management System for Wordpress
The School Management System for Wordpress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the mj_smgt_load_documets_new() and mj_smgt_load_documets() functions in all versions up to, and including, 91.5.0.
