Description
WP Symposium Plugin for WordPress contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker
to execute arbitrary PHP code. This flaw exists because the
/wp-symposium/server/file_upload_form.php script does not properly verify or
sanitize user-uploaded files. 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.
