The log file can then be populated with php code by changing the\\n          username of a valid user, as this info is logged. The php code in the file can then be executed\\n          by sending an HTTP request to the log file. A similar issue was reported by the same researcher\\n          where a blank file extension could be supplied and the extension could be provided in the file\\n          name.
