The most discussed workaround here is to take away the AJAX option all together, which will still keep it safe. So what exactly should we take away?

I’ve actually uploaded a couple of PHP files through the upload sextion already, just so I didn’t have to get on a FTP when I was away from my own computer. Are there many CMS systems that don’t allow uploading PHP files that you know of?
You could have at least excluded *.php or *.sh files from being uploaded :/
