Description
|
|
Sammy Forgit has discovered a vulnerability in the Contus Video Gallery 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/contus-video-galleryversion-10/upload1.php script improperly validating uploaded files, which can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a PHP file with e.g. an appended ".gif" file extension.
Successful exploitation requires that Apache is not configured to handle the mime-type for media files with e.g. a ".jpg" or ".gif" extension (Configured to handle by default).
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3. Other versions may also be affected.
