The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions within "Functions/EWD_UFAQ_Import.php" and "Functions/EWD_UFAQ_Export.php" scripts. A remote non-authenticated attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and perform import/export of files that can lead to arbitrary post creation on the website.
