CVE-2024-12854

The Garden Gnome Package plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the functionality that automatically extracts 'ggpkg' files that have been uploaded in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

Summary		(es) El complemento Garden Gnome Package para WordPress es vulnerable a la carga de archivos arbitrarios debido a la falta de validación del tipo de archivo en la función que extrae automáticamente los archivos 'ggpkg' que se han cargado en todas las versiones hasta la 2.3.0 incluida. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de autor y superior, carguen archivos arbitrarios en el servidor del sitio afectado, lo que puede hacer posible la ejecución remota de código.
