Description

The Wordpress Plugin Catch Themes Demo Import versions arbitrary file uploads via the import functionality found in the
~/inc/CatchThemesDemoImport.php file, due to insufficient file type validation.
Re-exploitation may need a reboot of the server, or to wait an arbitrary timeout.
During testing this timeout was roughly 5min.
