wp-admin/options.php in WordPress MU before 1.3.2, and WordPress 2.3.2 and earlier, does not properly validate requests to update an option, which allows remote authenticated users with manageoptions and uploadfiles capabilities to execute arbitrary code by uploading a PHP script and adding this script's pathname to active_plugins.
