What the vulnerability does
The WP Delicious – Recipe Plugin for Food Bloggers (formerly Delicious Recipes) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads when importing recipes via CSV in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.0.

An attacker with low-level access can exploit this to upload executable code, potentially compromising the entire WordPress installation. All versions up to 1.9.0 are affected.
What an attacker can do
