CVE-2014-9444 Scanner

The Frontend Uploader plugin for WordPress is a tool designed for website owners to allow users to upload and submit content to their website. With this plugin, site owners don't have to spend time managing individual uploads, and users can easily contribute to the site's content. The plugin can be used for various purposes, such as setting up a user-generated content site, collecting data from users, or simply giving visitors the ability to upload files.

However, the Frontend Uploader plugin 0.9.2 for WordPress has a major vulnerability that leaves it open to malicious cyberattacks. CVE-2014-9444 vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML into the site by manipulating the "errors[fu-disallowed-mime-type][0][name]" parameter. The plugin fails to properly sanitize user inputs, making it vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

If this vulnerability is exploited, it can have serious consequences. An attacker could inject malicious web scripts into the site, steal sensitive user information, and gain unauthorized access to the website. They can also manipulate the site in various ways, such as redirecting to other malicious sites, stealing login credentials, and hijacking user sessions.
