DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Video Embed &
Thumbnail Generator plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to various functions in the
wp-content/plugins/video-embed-thumbnail-generator/kg_callffmpeg.php
script is not properly sanitised before being used in an "exec()"
call. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell
commands.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Upgrade to version 2.0.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
