Vulnerable File : ./includes/richedit/upload.php
  
       Vulnerability occures in checking extension section :
    
  ...
94.    $blacklist = array(".php", ".phtml", ".php3", ".php4", ".php5", ".php6", ".js", ".shtml", ".pl" ,".py");
95.    foreach ($blacklist as $file)
96.   {
97.    if(preg_match("/$file\$/i", $_FILES['userfile']['name']))
98.    {
99.   echo "ERROR: Uploading executable files Not Allowed\n";
100.    exit;
101.    }
102.    }
  ...
  
  this section of code checks uploaded file extension with array of executable extensions.in line 97, preg-match() function
  checks the extension in blacklist array but just checks the name after last dot.so we can't upload files such as file.php but we can rename file
  to file.php.gif and if we want to upload php file, we should also include image header in file because of image size checking(gif,jpg,png,...)
  and change the content-type(if necessary).you can rename your php file to something like file.php.01 and then use exploits to upload your php file.
  
Patch Solution:
  
   remove "\$" from the preg_match() function
