The security issue is caused due to the upload.php script allowing the upload of files with arbitrary extensions to the excel folder inside the webroot. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a PHP file. The security issue is confirmed in version 1.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified. Restrict access to the excel folder (e.g. via .htaccess).
