What it is

The Insert or Embed Articulate Content into WordPress plugin through 4.3000000027 does not correctly validate the contents of an uploaded archive, relying on a bypassable check that lets an Editor-level user upload a server-executable file into a public directory, resulting in remote code execution on servers configured to execute it.
