A critical vulnerability in the Ninja Forms File Uploads addon for WordPress is being actively exploited, potentially exposing around 50,000 websites to complete takeover. The security flaw, which scores 9.8 out of 10 in severity, allows unauthenticated attackers to upload malicious PHP files due to insufficient file type validation, enabling remote code execution and deployment of web shells. Users are urged to immediately upgrade to version 3.3.27, as all previous versions are affected by this serious security defect.
