DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Kish Guest Posting plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a vulnerable system.

The application improperly validates 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.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.2. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to
wp-content/plugins/kish-guest-posting/uploadify/scripts/uploadify.php
(e.g. via .htaccess).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
EgiX.
