WordPress Arbitrary File Upload

This script allows an attacker to upload arbitrary files to a vulnerable Wordpress installation. It takes the target host, a valid username and password, the path to the remote file, and the file to upload as arguments. The script also creates a new post every time it is run, unless a post ID is specified.

Mitigation:

Update to a patched version of Wordpress.
