Description

The WordPress WPTouch plugin contains an authenticated file upload
vulnerability. A wp-nonce (CSRF token) is created on the backend index
page and the same token is used on handling ajax file uploads through
the plugin. By sending the captured nonce with the upload, we can
upload arbitrary files to the upload folder. Because the plugin also
uses its own file upload mechanism instead of the WordPress api it's
possible to upload any file type.
The user provided does not need special rights, and users with "Contributor"
role can be abused.
