WordPress RokMicroNews 1.5 XSS / DoS / Shell Upload

`Hello list!  
  
I want to warn you about multiple vulnerabilities in plugin RokMicroNews for   
WordPress. In August 2012 I wrote about multiple vulnerabilities in RokBox   
for WordPress (http://securityvulns.ru/docs28871.html). These   
vulnerabilities are similar, since the same developers put the same   
vulnerable TimThumb into another their plugin (vulnerabilities in which I   
disclosed already in 2011).  
  
These are Cross-Site Scripting, Full path disclosure, Abuse of   
Functionality, Denial of Service and Arbitrary File Upload vulnerabilities.  
  
In July 2013 developers released a patch for their plugins and themes with   
TimThumb   
(http://www.rockettheme.com/wordpress-updates/1871-security-patch-for-wordpress-timthumb),   
which can be used to fix these vulnerabilities (except the last FPD).  
  
-------------------------  
Affected products:  
-------------------------  
  
Vulnerable are RokMicroNews 1.5 and previous versions (to attacks on   
TimThumb and all versions are vulnerable to FPD).  
  
Besides standalone WP plugin, this web application comes as part of the   
themes. Many of 56 RocketTheme's WP themes   
(http://www.rockettheme.com/wordpress-themes) use RokMicroNews and old   
versions of these themes are vulnerable to attacks on TimThumb (and all   
versions of them are vulnerable to FPD).

About such Abuse of Functionality and Denial of Service vulnerabilities you   
can read in my article Using of the sites for attacks on other sites   
(http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2010-June/075384.html).   
For such attacks my tool DAVOSET (http://websecurity.com.ua/davoset/) can be   
used.

months after my disclosure of previous holes.
