CVE-2012-10019 is a critical arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the WordPress Front End Editor plugin affecting versions prior to 2.3. The flaw is in the plugin's upload handler, upload.php, located under /wp-content/plugins/front-end-editor/lib/aloha-editor/plugins/extra/draganddropfiles/demo/upload.php. The handler accepts HTTP POST requests and uses the attacker-controlled X-File-Name header to determine the output filename, then writes the raw POST body directly to disk. The script does not require authentication and does not perform adequate validation of file extension, MIME type, or file content. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can upload arbitrary files, including PHP payloads such as web shells, into a web-accessible location on the server. If the uploaded file is executable by the web server, this can be leveraged for remote code execution and full compromise of the affected WordPress instance.
