CVE-2026-6261
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The Betheme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in versions up to, and including, 28.4. This is due to the upload_icons() function workflow moving and unzipping user-controlled ZIP files into a public uploads directory without validating extracted file types. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files (including PHP) and achieve remote code execution via the Icons icon-pack upload flow.

"value": "El tema Betheme para WordPress es vulnerable a la Carga Arbitraria de Archivos en versiones hasta la 28.4, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el flujo de trabajo de la función upload_icons() mueve y descomprime archivos ZIP controlados por el usuario en un directorio público de cargas sin validar los tipos de archivos extraídos. Esto permite a atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de autor y superior, cargar archivos arbitrarios (incluido PHP) y lograr ejecución remota de código a través del flujo de carga de paquetes de iconos de Icons."
