Description

Simple File List (simple-file-list) plugin before 4.2.3 for WordPress allows remote unauthenticated attackers
to upload files within a controlled list of extensions. However, the rename function does not conform to
the file extension restrictions, thus allowing arbitrary PHP code to be uploaded first as a png then renamed
to php and executed.
