Vulnerability:
1. Ability to create directories out side of the upload path by using ../:
Lines 56-59 of upload.php:

56 // Create target dir
57 if (!file_exists($targetDir)) {
58         @mkdir($targetDir);
59 }      

2. Arbitrary file uploads to a path in the web root directory:
Lines 138-160 of uploads.php don’t verify what types of files are allowed or where they should be placed:

138 // Open temp file
139 if (!$out = @fopen("{$filePath}.part", $chunks ? "ab" : "wb")) {
140         die('{"jsonrpc" : "2.0", "error" : {"code": 102, "message": "Failed to open output stream."}, "id" :     "id"}');
141 }
142 
143 if (!empty($_FILES)) {
144         if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] || !is_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"])) {
145                 die('{"jsonrpc" : "2.0", "error" : {"code": 103, "message": "Failed to move uploaded file."}    , "id" : "id"}');
146         }
147 
148         // Read binary input stream and append it to temp file
149         if (!$in = @fopen($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "rb")) {
150                 die('{"jsonrpc" : "2.0", "error" : {"code": 101, "message": "Failed to open input stream."},     "id" : "id"}');
151         }
152 } else {
153         if (!$in = @fopen("php://input", "rb")) {
154                 die('{"jsonrpc" : "2.0", "error" : {"code": 101, "message": "Failed to open input stream."},     "id" : "id"}');
155         }
156 }
157 
158 while ($buff = fread($in, 4096)) {
159         fwrite($out, $buff);
160 }

3. Sql injection 
Lines 131-135 of upload.php fail to handle user input appropriately either by sanitizing or paramaterizing it. Injection points are
any GET/POST to albumid or name.

131 $query = "INSERT INTO ".$wpdb->prefix."pp_images (`category_id`, `title`, `description`, `price`, `thumb`, `    image`, `status`, `order`, `creation_date` )
132           VALUES (".$_REQUEST['albumid'].",'".$imgname[0]."','".$imgname[0]."','','".$resize."','".$_REQUEST    ['name']."',1,'','NULL')";
133 
134           $wpdb->query($query);
135

	• ->301 exists else 404 doesn't.
