'Critical' zero-day bug found in three popular WordPress plugins | #Update asap!!! | #CyberSecurity #Blogs | WordPress and Annotum for Education, Science,Journal Publishing | Scoop.it
From www.grahamcluley.com - October 3, 2017 11:43 AM
Outdated versions of three popular WordPress plugins suffer from a "critical" zero-day vulnerability that enables an attacker to take over a website.

The bug is a PHP object injection flaw that affects the following plugins: Appointments (versions prior to 2.2.2), Flickr Gallery (versions prior to 1.5.3), and RegistrationMagic-Custom Registration Forms (versions prior to 3.7.9.3).

Together, those plugins have a combined user base of over 21,000 WordPress customers. All three have already received a fix for the security issue, which is rated "Critical" with a CVSS rating of 9.8.

A critical security flaw in a plugin called WP-Slimstat is to blame.


Over one million websites running the WordPress content management system are potentially at risk of being hijacked due to a critical vulnerability exposed in the WP-Slimstat plugin.

On Tuesday, a security advisory posted by researcher Marc-Alexandre Montpas from security firm Sucuri said the "very high risk" vulnerability found in versions of WP-Slimstat 3.9.5 and lower could lead to cyberattackers being able to break the plugin's "secret" key, perform an SQL injection and take over a target website.

Many WordPress sites are at risk of hijack, after cross-site scripting vulnerability uncovered.


If you find the similarity in names between wordpress.org and wordpress.com somewhat confusing, you’re not alone.


But, in answer to your question, if you’re using wordpress.com you are not at risk.
