DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in the Simple:Press plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious users to
compromise a vulnerable system and by malicious people to bypass
certain security restrictions and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Access to the enabled TinyBrowser component is not properly
restricted, which can be exploited to e.g upload files of certain
types.

2) An error exists due to the TinyBrowser component allowing uploads
of files with multiple extensions. This can be exploited to upload
and execute arbitrary PHP code.

3) An error in the handling of file uploads for avatars can be
exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a malicious PHP
script with multiple extensions.

Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #2 and #3 requires a
certain server configuration (e.g. an Apache server with the
"mod_mime" module installed).

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 4.1.3.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.1.3 or later.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
