Vulnerability Description

The Media.net Ads Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation and missing capability check in the 'sendMail' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.13.

The vulnerability is only exploitable if anyone has ever logged in through the API.
