- Published: 2021-09-13 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- Unknown WordPress Simple Ecommerce Shopping Cart Plugin- Sell products through Paypal: 2.2.5 only

## Description

The WordPress Simple Ecommerce Shopping Cart Plugin- Sell products through Paypal plugin through 2.2.5 does not check for the uploaded Downloadable Digital product file, allowing any file, such as PHP to be uploaded by an administrator. Furthermore, as there is no CSRF in place, attackers could also make a logged admin upload a malicious PHP file, which would lead to RCE
