Until a fix is available, restrict user roles that have upload capabilities, monitor for suspicious file uploads, and consider disabling the import functionality if feasible. Avoid granting Subscriber-level or higher access to untrusted users.
Description
The StoreEngine – Powerful WordPress eCommerce Plugin for Payments, Memberships, Affiliates, Sales & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the import() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
