 I still don't see how "badscript.php" can be uploaded into
 example.com's site in the first place

PHP sends a request to badserver.com for badscript.txt, and the content
of the response is included just as if it were the content of a local file.

Hope that helps.

If example.com is my domain, then how could evil-doer get access to my site to place "badscript.php" there?
