Summary

The WPtouch plugin for WordPress, prior to version 4.3.45, is susceptible to an arbitrary file upload vulnerability due to improper validation of uploaded images. This issue enables high privilege users, such as administrators, to upload arbitrary files to the server, circumventing intended restrictions, particularly in multisite setups where such actions should be prohibited. This poses a significant security risk as it could potentially allow attackers to execute malicious files on vulnerable installations.
