Summary

The Debug Tool plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a vulnerability that permits arbitrary file creation due to an oversight in capability verification contained within the dbt_pull_image() function. Furthermore, the absence of file type validation in the plugin's functionality allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit this weakness. These weaknesses enable attackers to create unauthorized files, including those with .php extensions, which can result in the execution of remote code, posing a significant threat to affected WordPress installations.

Affected Version(s)

Debug Tool * <= 2.2

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
