Vitepos – Point of Sale (POS) for WooCommerce <= 3.3.0 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Upload to Remote Code Execution
The Vitepos – Point of Sale (POS) for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the insert_media_attachment() function in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.0.
