info:
  name: WordPress Core 5.0.0 - Crop-image Shell Upload
  author: sttlr
  severity: medium
  description: |
    WordPress through 5.0.3 allows Path Traversal in wp_crop_image(). An attacker (who has privileges to crop an image) can write the output image to an arbitrary directory via a filename containing two image extensions and ../ sequences, such as a filename ending with the .jpg?/../../file.jpg substring.
