Addresses arbitrary server-side file sideloading and file extension validation bypass vulnerabilities in media upload requests.
Changes
Removed Sideloading: Removed the legacy
$this->fakebranch inRTMediaUploadFile::set_file()and enforced$upload_type = 'wp_handle_upload'inRTMediaUploadFile::process().filesdescriptors from$_POSTforwarded arbitrary server file paths (tmp_name) towp_handle_sideload(). Legitimate plugin uploads use PHP's authentic$_FILES['rtmedia_file']stream. It does not affect any existing functionality.Removed MIME Regex Check: Removed the fallback
preg_matchon$file['type']inRTMediaUploadFile::is_valid_type(), enforcing strict extension validation against$allowed_types.$file['type']instead of rejecting unauthorized extensions.
