# CVE-2021-24499: Workreap theme < 2.2.2 - Unauthenticated… | CubePath

## Description

The Workreap WordPress theme before 2.2.2 AJAX actions workreap\_award\_temp\_file\_uploader and workreap\_temp\_file\_uploader did not perform nonce checks, or validate that the request is from a valid user in any other way. The endpoints allowed for uploading arbitrary files to the uploads/workreap-temp directory. Uploaded files were neither sanitized nor validated, allowing an unauthenticated visitor to upload executable code such as php scripts.
