AI-suggested

A fix is available in Contest Gallery version 34.0.3. Users should upgrade to version 34.0.3 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until patched, restrict Author-level and higher user permissions to trusted users only.

Description

The Contest Gallery WordPress plugin versions before 34.0.3 contain a vulnerability in the e-commerce sale file-replacement feature where file names are not properly sanitized. Authenticated users with Author-level access or higher can upload files with arbitrary names and extensions to a web-accessible directory. By overwriting the directory's protection file, these users can achieve remote code execution on the server.
