Description
WordPress Plugin Woopra Analytics is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers upload arbitrary files because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to upload arbitrary code and run it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation; other attacks are also possible. The vulnerability is caused due to the use of vulnerable Open Flash Chart code. WordPress Plugin Woopra Analytics version 1.4.3.1 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
Remediation
Update to plugin version 1.4.3.2 or latest
