Description

WordPress Plugin PHP Speedy is prone to a vulnerability that lets remote attackers execute arbitrary code because the application fails to sanitize user-supplied input. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary PHP code within the context of the affected webserver process. WordPress Plugin PHP Speedy versions 0.5.2 and prior are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and verified or disable the plugin until a fix is available
