CVE-2025-12775WP Dropzone <= 1.1.0 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Upload
High 8.8
In plain English
A high-severity unrestricted file upload in WP Dropzone from nazsabuz. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.7% (higher than 52% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The WP Dropzone plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated arbitrary file upload in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0 via the `ajax_upload_handle` function. This is due to the chunked upload functionality writing files directly to the uploads directory before any file type validation occurs. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
