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
Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in CodeRevolution Aimogen Pro aimogen-pro allows Using Malicious Files.This issue affects Aimogen Pro: from n/a through <= 2.8.3.

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

Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in CodeRevolution Aimogen Pro plugin (versions <= 2.8.3) allows attackers to upload malicious files (e.g., PHP shells, executables) without proper validation of file type, content, or extensions. This can lead to remote code execution on the server.

MitigationImplement strict allowlist-based file type validation (checking magic bytes/MIME type), rename uploaded files, store them outside the web root, disable script execution in the upload directory, and require authentication for upload endpoints.

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. Confirm Aimogen Pro plugin is installed
    Check WordPress plugin directory or admin panel for the Aimogen Pro plugin presence
    Affected if Plugin is installed and active in the WordPress environment
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    Locate plugin version information in plugin header comments or version file, then compare against the affected range (versions <= 2.8.3)
    Affected if Installed version is 2.8.3 or lower
  3. Verify file upload functionality is accessible
    Check if the plugin exposes any file upload endpoints or functionality (typically via plugin admin pages or AJAX handlers)
    Affected if Plugin exposes an accessible upload mechanism without proper restrictions
  4. Inspect upload validation controls
    Examine plugin source code or configuration for file type/extension validation logic on upload functions
    Affected if No file type, content, or extension validation is implemented on upload handlers
  5. Check upload directory execution settings
    Review web server and plugin upload directory configuration for script execution permissions
    Affected if Uploaded files can be executed as scripts (PHP, etc.) from the storage location

User is affected if Aimogen Pro plugin version 2.8.3 or lower is installed with exposed and unprotected file upload functionality
