CVE-2026-7537: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in mdjm MDJM Event Management
The MDJM Event Management WordPress plugin up to version 1.7.8.3 contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability due to lack of validation on uploaded files. Authenticated users with administrator-level privileges can upload potentially executable files, enabling remote code execution. This vulnerability is identified as CWE-434 and carries a high severity rating with a CVSS score of 7.2.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-7537 affects the MDJM Event Management plugin for WordPress in all versions prior to 1.7.8.4. The vulnerability arises from the mdjm_send_comm_email function, which does not perform any validation on file types, extensions, or MIME types during file upload. This allows authenticated attackers with administrator privileges to upload arbitrary files, including those that may be executable, potentially leading to remote code execution on the affected system.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with administrator-level access to upload arbitrary files without restriction on file type, potentially leading to remote code execution. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently confirmed. Users should monitor the vendor advisory for updates. In the meantime, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling file upload functionality if feasible until a fix is available.
