Description

WP Mobile Detector Plugin for WordPress contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker
to execute arbitrary PHP code. This flaw exists because the
/wp-content/plugins/wp-mobile-detector/resize.php script does contains a
remote file include for files not cached by the system already.
By uploading a .php file, the remote system will
place the file in a user-accessible path. Making a direct request to the
uploaded file will allow the attacker to execute the script with the privileges
of the web server.
