Description
WordPress Plugin Ultimate Member-User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers upload arbitrary files because the application fails to properly verify user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to upload arbitrary code and run it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation; other attacks are also possible. WordPress Plugin Ultimate Member-User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership version 2.0.21 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
Remediation
Update to plugin version 2.0.22 or latest
