WordPress Uploadify Plugin 1.0 Remote File Upload



[+] Description

Adds a shortcode to embed the necessary elements to use
Uploadify in a page or post which will give your website
visitors the ability to upload large files. By default the
files will be uploaded to the folder set in your preferences.
The shortcode supports most of the Uploadify options, so it
can be easily customized to suit your needs.

Title: WordPress Uploadify Plugin 1.0 Remote File Upload
Google Dork: inurl:"/wp-content/plugins/uploadify/"
Advisory: gg-003-2011
Date: 02-18-2011

[+] Vulnerability

process. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege
escalation.
