WordPress Core <= 7.0.3 - Authenticated (Author+) Remote Code Execution via Malicious File Upload
WordPress Core is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in multiple release branches, including versions 4.7.0 through 7.0.3. This is due to insufficient validation in the WP_Image_Editor_Imagick::load() image-processing path before passing uploaded files or streams to Imagick, which can interpret attacker-supplied image-like files as PostScript-family or compressed delegate formats based on magic bytes, format specifiers, or decompressed content rather than the WordPress-accepted extension. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to upload a crafted file that is processed during attachment metadata generation and may trigger unsafe ImageMagick/Ghostscript behavior, resulting in remote code execution on sites using Imagick and Ghostscript. Unauthenticated exploitation is deployment-dependent and requires an additional public-upload plugin or theme path that sends attacker-supplied files through WordPress image metadata generation.
