Hi,

I'am using wpforo in version 1.9.9.1 and the plugin is vulnerable as : https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/d54d5500-e034-4a4b-ab06-af2e84b7554b

Because of some custom code it is impossible to update the plugin for this time.

My question it is possible to disable the upload for subscriber user ? Or do anything that can fix the vuln ?

Thanks for your help

Hi @kirua78,

Navigate to Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Spam Protection, and check Do not allow attaching files with following extensions field

@kirua78,

You have spam protection in wpForo Settings, just look carefully and you will find it.

Or insert your domain in this path:

https://yourdomain/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpforo-settings&wpf_tab=antispam
