WordPress vulnerable to yet another, still to be patched XSS flaw | CyberSecurity | Blogs | Blogging

WordPress vulnerable to yet another, still to be patched XSS flaw | CyberSecurity | Blogs | Blogging | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.net-security.org - April 27, 2015 5:07 PM
The latest WordPress version (4.2, released on Thursday) and several earlier ones are vulnerable to a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that can be exploited to inject JavaScript in WordPress comments.

"If [the script is] triggered by a logged-in administrator, under default settings the attacker can leverage the vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the server via the plugin and theme editors," researcher Jouko Pynnönen of Finnish security company Klikki Oy explained in a security advisory published on Sunday.

Hackers turn 162,000 WordPress sites into DDoS attack tools

Hackers turn 162,000 WordPress sites into DDoS attack tools | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.v3.co.uk - March 11, 2014 10:42 AM
Legitimate sites forced to aid criminals' illicit botnet operations


Hackers have hijacked more than 162,000 legitimate WordPress sites, connecting them to a criminal botnet and forcing them to mount distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, according to security firm Sucuri.


Sucuri CTO Daniel Cid said the company uncovered the botnet when analysing an attack targeting one of its customers. Cid said Sucuri managed to trace the source of the attack to legitimate WordPress sites.

"The most interesting part is that all the requests were coming from valid and legitimate WordPress sites. Yes, other WordPress sites were sending random requests at a very large scale and bringing the site down," read the blog.

Brute Force Attacks Build WordPress Botnet — Krebs on Security

Brute Force Attacks Build WordPress Botnet — Krebs on Security | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From krebsonsecurity.com - April 13, 2013 9:20 AM

According to Sucuri, WordPress administrators who have been hacked should strongly consider taking the following steps to eradicate the intruders and infections:

 

- Log in to the administrative panel and remove any unfamiliar admin users (the first step after the attackers get in is to add a new user).

 

- Change all passwords for all admin users (and make sure all legitimate accounts are protected with strong passwords this time!)

 

- Update the secret keys inside WordPress, otherwise any rogue admin user can remain logged in.

 

===> Reinstall WordPress from scratch or revert to a known, safe backup. <===
