## What is CVE-2024-8242?

CVE-2024-8242 is a medium-severity vulnerability in inspireui MStore API – Create Native Android & iOS Apps On The Cloud, published on 13 Sep 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The MStore API – Create Native Android & iOS Apps On The Cloud plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the update_user_profile() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.15.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files (not including PHP files) on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible. This can be paired with a registration endpoint for unauthenticated users to exploit the issue.

Weakness: CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type)
