Recommendation: Plan a near-term fix — a public PoC already exists.

Auxilium RateMyPet contains an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in upload_banners.php. The banner upload feature fails to validate file types or enforce authentication, allowing remote attackers to upload malicious PHP files. These files are stored in a web-accessible /banners/ directory and can be executed directly, resulting in remote code execution.
