                 https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/12347

[+] Summary
   
    A critical security vulnerability exists in the WordPress Flex QR Code Generator plugin version 1.2.5. 
	The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary PHP files through the QR code creation functionality, 
	leading to remote code execution and complete compromise of the WordPress installation.
	
The vulnerability exists in the QR code creation functionality of the Flex QR Code Generator plugin. 
The 'flexqr_save_qr' AJAX handler lacks proper file type validation and authentication checks, allowing attackers to:

1. Bypass authentication completely
2. Upload arbitrary PHP files as QR code logos
3. Execute the uploaded files with web server privileges
4. Achieve remote code execution
