NVD · unedited
Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in Moove Agency Import XML and RSS Feeds.This issue affects Import XML and RSS Feeds: from n/a through 2.1.5.

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 · moderate confidence

The Moove Agency Import XML and RSS Feeds WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.1.5) contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability allowing attackers to upload dangerous file types without proper validation. This could enable remote code execution if malicious executable files (such as PHP scripts) are uploaded and subsequently accessed.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to the latest version which implements proper file type validation, restricts allowed upload extensions to safe types only (e.g., XML, CSV), and stores uploads outside the web root or applies strict access controls.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify the plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress installation for the Moove Agency Import XML and RSS Feeds plugin in wp-content/plugins/ or via the WordPress admin Plugins page
    Affected if The plugin appears in your installed plugins list
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Locate the main plugin file (typically moove-agency-import-xml-rss-feeds.php) and check the version header comment, or view the version in WordPress admin plugin details
    Affected if The version is 2.1.5 or lower
  3. Identify the upload functionality
    Look for the file upload form or endpoint in the plugin settings - typically found under the plugin admin menu where feeds are imported
    Affected if The plugin provides a file upload interface for importing XML, RSS, or CSV feeds
  4. Locate the upload directory
    Check wp-content/uploads/ or the configured upload directory for files uploaded by this plugin; inspect directory listing for unexpected file types
    Affected if The directory contains executable files (PHP, .phtml, .exe) or file types beyond XML and CSV
  5. Review web server access logs for upload activity
    Search access logs for POST requests to the plugin upload endpoint, looking for requests uploading files with dangerous extensions
    Affected if Logs show upload attempts for .php, .phtml, or other executable extensions to the plugin upload handler

Your environment is likely affected if the Moove Agency Import XML and RSS Feeds plugin version is 2.1.5 or lower and the upload feature is accessible or has been used.
