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
Update to version 0.9.10 or later.
