What is CVE-2015-9341?

The wp-file-upload plugin for WordPress prior to version 3.4.1 has a security flaw that allows users to bypass restrictions on file uploads. Specifically, it fails to adequately restrict the uploading of files with .php.js extensions, which can potentially be exploited to execute malicious code on the server. Website administrators should ensure that they update to the latest version of the plugin to mitigate this risk.
