VUL-1: CVE-2019-8943: wordpress: Path Traversal in wp_crop_image()
Last modified: 2019-03-11 10:36:52 UTC
CVE-2019-8943 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.

Have done update to 5.1 in my home repo. Before i push to devel i will test it. But i don't know if CVE-2019-8943 is fixed, because it is plenty years old and no entry found at wordpress itself. See: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/107089
Was fixed in 5.1.
