Vulnerability – Modern Events Calendar WordPress Plugin

Modern Events Calendar plugin for WordPress – Update NOW!

The Modern Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the set_featured_image function in all versions up to, and including, 7.11.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site’s server which may make remote code execution possible.
