Something that's being highlighted this week by the WP community. If you're trying free themes then be careful. Very, very careful.

A more technical breakdown of how it works:

In other words if in doubt don't use it. Scan all the code before uploading and using a theme, if you can't do that find someone that can. WordPress is the most used Blogging engine on the 'Net so no surprise it's now being attacked in such a way.

These aren't simple hacks but sophisticated and well executed code that once enabled will compromise your server.
