Description
The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing protections or file validations in versions up to, and including, 2.0.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions, to upload arbitrary files on the affected sites server which may make remote code execution possible.
