Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The Imagements WordPress plugin through 1.2.5 allows images to be uploaded in comments, however only checks for the Content-Type in the request to forbid dangerous files. This allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files by using a valid image Content-Type along with a PHP filename and code, leading to RCE.
