WordPress front-end-upload 0.5.3 Arbitrary File Upload

Wordpress front-end-upload 0.5.3 is vulnerable to Remote File Upload. An attacker can upload a malicious file to the server by exploiting the upload.php page. If the plugin is not active, the shell can be found at http://server/wp-content/plugins/front-end-upload/FEU_DESTINATION_DIR/shell.php, else it can be found at http://server/wp-content/uploads/iti_feu_uploads/shell.php.

Mitigation:

Disable the plugin or upgrade to the latest version.
