Summary

The Videowhisper Video Presentation Plugin version 3.31.17 for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability arises due to improper handling of file uploads in the script vp/vw_upload.php, where files ending with 'html' are incorrectly treated as safe. Attackers can exploit this oversight by uploading a malicious file with a .phtml extension that contains executable PHP code, leading to unauthorized actions and potential compromise of the WordPress site.
