Overview

Debug Tool <= 2.2 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Creation

The Debug Tool plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file creation due to a missing capability check on the dbt_pull_image() function and missing file type validation in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to to create arbitrary files such as .php files that can be leveraged for remote code execution.
