Hello list!
These are Full path disclosure and Security bypass vulnerabilities in
AntiVirus for WordPress. This is security plugin for detecting exploits and
backdoors in WordPress. Which failed to identify my Backdoored Web
Application (BWA) - a reference test of backdoor scanners (released in
December).
Last week I've published article "Backdoor scanners testing among plugins
for WordPress"
(http://lists.webappsec.org/pipermail/websecurity_lists.webappsec.org/2013-May/008832.html).
In which I described the results of the testing of multiple plugins-scanners
for WordPress and described methods of bypassing all of these scanners.
-------------------------
Affected products:
-------------------------
AntiVirus for WordPress 1.0 and previous versions.
Versions from 1.1 to 1.3.4 are still vulnerable to Security bypass, but Full
path disclosure was fixed by removing uninstall.php in 1.1.

Details:
----------
Full path disclosure (WASC-13):
http://site/wp-content/plugins/antivirus/uninstall.php
Security bypass (WASC-31):
This security bypass allows to inject php backdoor into web site (for
executing OS commands), which will not be identified by the plugin.
All details about detecting BWA by the plugin and methods of the bypass are
described in my article.
