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 · unedited
The WP3D Model Import Viewer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the handle_import_file() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's 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 confidence

The WP3D Model Import Viewer WordPress plugin lacks file type validation in the handle_import_file() function, allowing authenticated users with Author-level access or higher to upload arbitrary files to the server, potentially enabling remote code execution.

MitigationUpdate the WP3D Model Import Viewer plugin to version 1.0.8 or later which includes proper file type validation. If immediate update is not possible, restrict file upload capabilities and monitor for suspicious uploads.

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. Locate the WP3D Model Import Viewer plugin
    Check the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for a folder named wp3d-models, wp3d-model-import-viewer, or similar containing the plugin files
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file and look for the version header in the plugin comment block, or check the readme.txt file for the Version field
    Affected if The version is 1.0.7 or lower (any version up to and including 1.0.7)
  3. Identify the vulnerable handle_import_file function
    Search the plugin files for the function named handle_import_file() and examine its code for file type validation logic
    Affected if The function exists and lacks proper file type validation (no allowlist check for permitted file extensions)
  4. Verify the upload endpoint is accessible
    Check WordPress admin for the plugin settings or scan plugin files for ajax actions or form handlers that call handle_import_file
    Affected if The upload functionality is present and accessible to authenticated users with Author-level access or higher

A user is affected if the WP3D Model Import Viewer plugin is installed, the version is 1.0.7 or lower, and the handle_import_file function lacks file type validation.
