 Within wp-admin, an administrator user may upload files by using the
 Upload Plugin functionality (Plugins -> Add New -> Upload plugin) and the
 Upload Theme functionality (Appearance -> Themes -> Add New -> Upload
 Theme)

 These processes uploads the user submitted file to /wp-
 content/uploads/{month} first, then attempts to extract it to the plugins
 or theme directory (The form expects a .zip file, yet allows any mime-type
 or extension for uploaded files, such as images, or .php files). If the
 process fails for any reason the uploaded file remains in /wp-
 content/uploads/ and/or /wp-content/upgrade/

 It would be best if the plugin and theme upload functionalities properly
 clean up the uploaded files if a plugin or theme fail to properly get
 extracted and/or installed.

 Note: On successful installations of a plugin or theme, the uploaded file
 is being properly removed from /wp-content/uploads/ and/or /wp-
 content/upgrade/
