DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Asset Manager plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the
wp-content/plugins/asset-manager/upload.php script allowing to upload
files with arbitrary extensions to a folder inside the webroot. This
can be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a
malicious PHP script.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the wp-content/plugins/asset-manager/upload.php
file (e.g. via .htaccess).
