DESCRIPTION:
John Leitch has discovered a security issue in the DB Toolkit plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

The security issue is caused due to the
wp-content/plugins/db-toolkit/data_form/fieldtypes/file/scripts/uploadify.php
script allowing the upload of files to a folder inside the webroot.
This can be exploited to upload arbitrary files and e.g. execute
arbitrary PHP code.

The security issue is confirmed in version 0.1.10. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the
wp-content/plugins/db-toolkit/data_form/fieldtypes/file/scripts/uploadify.php
script (e.g. via .htaccess).
