CVE-2015-10135
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe WPshop 2 – E-Commerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the ajaxUpload function in versions before 1.3.9.6. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected sites server which may make remote code execution possible.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe WPshop 2 WordPress plugin before version 1.3.9.6 lacks file type validation in its ajaxUpload function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files including malicious executables, potentially achieving remote code execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if WPshop 2 plugin is installedCheck the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for a folder named wpshop, wpshop-2, or similar Eoxia WPshop plugin folderAffected if The WPshop 2 plugin folder exists in the plugins directory
-
Determine installed WPshop 2 versionOpen the main plugin PHP file (usually the primary PHP file in the plugin folder) and locate the version comment header or version constant. Compare the version number to 1.3.9.6Affected if The installed version is lower than 1.3.9.6
-
Locate the ajaxUpload functionSearch within the WPshop plugin files for the function named ajaxUpload or ajax_uploadAffected if The ajaxUpload function exists in the plugin code
-
Verify the ajaxUpload endpoint is accessibleCheck if the WordPress AJAX endpoint (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) exposes the wpshop ajaxUpload action to unauthenticated users by testing a request to the endpoint with the appropriate action parameterAffected if The ajaxUpload action is callable without authentication (no login required)
-
Check for file type validation in ajaxUploadReview the ajaxUpload function code to see if there is any file type validation or extension checking before file save operationsAffected if No file type validation is present, allowing any file extension to be uploaded
A user is affected if the WPshop 2 plugin version is below 1.3.9.6 AND the ajaxUpload function is present and accessible without authentication.
