DESCRIPTION:
Sammy Forgit has discovered a vulnerability in the Lim4wp 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/lim4wp/includes/upload.php script allowing to
upload and extract ZIP files to a folder inside the webroot. This can
be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a
malicious PHP script in the ZIP file.

Successful exploitation requires that the attacker knows the full
path of the webroot directory.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the wp-content/plugins/lim4wp/includes/upload.php
file (e.g. via .htaccess).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
