Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Chaiwat Thongyaem.
The ImageMagick Engine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.10 via the 'cli_path' parameter. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting content in the ImageMagick path field. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands on the server leading to remote code execution.
