The plugin uses the jQuery File Upload library, but does not properly ensure that PHP files are forbidden. Note: Exploitation of the issue is not as easy as the original advisory (in the references) states.
If a form from the plugin with an upload field is present on the blog, and is used to upload the file (by intercepting it and modifying the request accordingly), then the PHP4 file will be moved to /wp-content/uploads/surperforms/<current-year>/<current-month>/<id>/<filename.php4> (via the AJAX action super_send_email). With the id being a random number between 100 000 000 and 999 999 999. If the request is sent directly to /wp-content/plugins/super-forms/uploads/php/, the file will be uploaded in /wp-content/plugins/super-forms/uploads/php/files/<uid>/<filename.php4> with the uid being returned in the response. However, the plugin has an .htaccess preventing files to be accessed and the response content is set application/octet-stream on Apache web servers.
