The attacker can run own code on the web sever with the same privileges as DZCP
itself, enabling her to do almost anything from getting the MySQL password to
hosting own files and scripts or getting a shell on the server.

the attacker needs a file that is both a valid JPEG or GIF file and valid
PHP (or probably other) code

================================='
Get a JPEG file, open it in a hex editor, add some PHP inside the EXIF data or
in similar places.  Make sure PHP's getimagesize() does not return false and
that the file does not throw parse errors or the like when fed to PHP.  Then:

curl -F 'file=@img.php;type=image/jpeg' 'http://<dzcp>/upload/index.php?action=userpic&do=upload'

Then check http://<dzcp>/inc/images/uploads/userpics/.php
