Descriptions
wp-admin/options.php in WordPress MU before 1.3.2, and WordPress 2.3.2 and earlier, does not properly validate requests to update an option, which allows remote authenticated users with manage_options and upload_files capabilities to execute arbitrary code by uploading a PHP script and adding this script's pathname to active_plugins.
wp-admin/options.php en versiones de WordPress MU anteriores a la 1.3.2, y WordPress 2.3.2 y anteriores, no valida las solicitudes de actualización de una opción, lo que permite a usuarios remotos que tengan las capacidades manage_options y upload_files y esten autenticados, ejecutar código arbitrario subiendo un Script PHP y añadiendo la ruta de este script a los plugins activos.
