GPX Viewer <= 2.2.9 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Creation
Vulnerability Description
The GPX Viewer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file creation due to a missing capability check and file type validation in the gpxv_file_upload() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.9.
