Summary

The Theme Demo Import plugin for WordPress, prior to version 1.1.1, contains a significant security flaw that fails to validate the files being imported. This vulnerability allows high-privilege users, such as administrators, to upload arbitrary files, including potentially malicious PHP code, even when file modifications and edits are restricted. Consequently, this presents a major risk to websites using this plugin, as it can lead to execution of unauthorized scripts and compromise the integrity of the site.

Affected Version(s)

Theme Demo Import 0 < 1.1.1
