# CVE-2026-83526: FV Player 8 \<= 8.1.7 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Upload via videos\[\].fv\_wp\_flowplayer\_field\_src Parameter

- Severity: CVSS 8.8 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no

## Affected

- foliovision FV Player 8: through 8.1.7

## Description

The FV Player 8 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 8.1.7 via the check_mimetype function. This is due to insufficient file type validation in check_mimetype(), which writes attacker-supplied remote file content to the public uploads directory before any MIME or extension check, combined with a missing capability check on new player creation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. This requires successfully exploiting a race condition, and is only exploitable if the '[fvplayer_editor]' shortcode is present, or the "Enable profile videos" setting is enabled.
