AI-suggested

Until an official fix is released, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the WP Enable WebP plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from eastsidecode regarding patches or official mitigations.

Description

The WP Enable WebP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to improper file type validation in the 'wpse_file_and_ext_webp' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
