The Squeeze WordPress plugin before 1.7.12 does not validate the file type or extension of the per-size image data written by one of its attachment-update actions, allowing users with the upload_files capability (Author and above) to write an executable PHP file into the uploads directory and achieve remote code execution.

Remote code execution in the Squeeze WordPress plugin (versions prior to 1.7.12) is achievable by any authenticated user holding the upload_files capability - granted by default to the Author role and above. The plugin's attachment-update action writes per-size image data to the uploads directory without validating file type or extension, permitting a PHP webshell to be placed in a web-accessible path and directly invoked via HTTP. …
