TITLE:
WordPress WP-Syntax Plugin Code Execution Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36304

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36304/

DESCRIPTION:
Inj3ct0r has discovered a vulnerability in the WP-Syntax plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

Input passed via the "test_filter[]" parameter to
wp-syntax/test/index.php is not properly sanitised before being used
in a call to "call_user_func_array()", which can be exploited to
inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.9.8. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Remove the "wp-syntax/test" directory.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
