Multiple themes from WPScientist for WordPress are 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.
The following themes are vulnerable:
Lightspeed version 1.1.2
Eptonic version 1.4.3
Nuance version 1.2.3

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$postResult = curl_exec($ch);
