Descriptions

The Enable Media Replace WordPress plugin before 4.0.2 does not prevent authors from uploading arbitrary files to the site, which may allow them to upload PHP shells on affected sites.

The Enable Media Replace plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads in versions up to, and including, 4.0.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level permissions and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected sites server which may make remote code execution possible.
