Until an official fix is released, restrict Author-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for suspicious file uploads and consider disabling or limiting the use of the rest_replace_media() function if possible.

Description

The LightSync Pro WordPress plugin up to version 2.1.6 has a vulnerability allowing authenticated users with Author-level access or higher to upload arbitrary files due to missing file type validation. This flaw exists in the rest_replace_media() function and could lead to remote code execution on the affected server.
