CVE-2024-5852
The WordPress File Upload plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 4.24.7 via the 'uploadpath' parameter of the wordpress_file_upload shortcode.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.69%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
