File wpCleanFixAjax.php contains:
30 $command = strip_tags( $_POST['command'] );
31 eval ( $command );
and there is:
12 if ( is_admin() && _wpdk_is_ajax() ) {
So it only work when logged in administrator. This is not a security
vulnerability as is, because WordPress administrator can upload/edit PHP as she
or he likes.
There is a CSRF vulnerability, which can be used to execute arbitrary PHP.
POST /wordpress/wordpress-351/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
action=wpCleanFixAjax&command=echo phpversion();
So in short: two vulnerabilities, but eval can't be used without CSRF as far as
I can tell.
