Description
|
|
Sammy Forgit has discovered a vulnerability in the LB Mixed Slideshow plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the wp-content/plugins/lb-mixed-slideshow/libs/uploadify/upload.php script improperly validating uploaded files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a PHP file with e.g. an appended ".jpg" file extension.
Successful exploitation requires that Apache is not configured to handle the mime-type for media files with e.g. a ".jpg" extension (Configured to handle by default).
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected.
