Until a fix is available, restrict subscriber-level user permissions where possible and monitor for suspicious file uploads. Avoid relying solely on client-supplied headers for file validation and implement server-side content inspection and extension validation as a mitigation.

Description

The BuddyBoss App plugin for WordPress up to version 3.2.1 contains an arbitrary file upload vulnerability via the send_feedback function. This flaw arises from insufficient server-side validation of uploaded file types, relying only on the client-supplied Content-Type header. Authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher can upload potentially executable files, enabling remote code execution. Although uploaded files are intended to be deleted after email transmission, a race condition during SMTP execution allows access to these files, and files remain if wp_mail() fails.
