CVE-2026-3891: Pix for WooCommerce <= 1.5.0 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload

id: CVE-2026-3891

info:
  name: Pix for WooCommerce <= 1.5.0 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload
  author: m4sh_wacker
  severity: critical
  description: |
    The Pix for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing capability check and missing file type validation in the 'lkn_pix_for_woocommerce_c6_save_settings' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can upload arbitrary files, potentially leading to remote code execution and full server compromise.
  remediation: |
    Update to the latest version of Pix for WooCommerce plugin.
