'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

Gust MEES's insight:

Outdated versions of three popular WordPress plugins suffer from a "critical" zero-day vulnerability that enables an attacker to take over a website.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.

WordPress 4.8.2 is out, update your website now! | #Updates #Blogs #blogging #CyberSecurity | WordPress and Annotum for Education, Science,Journal Publishing | Scoop.it

From nakedsecurity.sophos.com - September 26, 2017 11:43 AM

Gust MEES's insight:

WordPress 4.8.2 is out, featuring nine security fixes website owners will want to apply, well, now.

All told, there have been six updates this year featuring security fixes, including January’s silent patch for a nasty zero day, this being the first since May’s v4.7.5.

The maintenance side of the update features six other software updates but focussing on the bit that bothers Naked Security readers most, security, we see five Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaws (a perennially popular attack vector that refuses to die), two path or directory traversal issues, and one covering an open redirect.

#Update asap!!! WordPress corrige des vulnérabilités très critiques | #Updates #CyberSecurity #Blogs | WordPress and Annotum for Education, Science,Journal Publishing | Scoop.it

From www.zdnet.fr - January 31, 2017 6:41 AM

Gust MEES's insight:

Attention menaces. WordPress a patché trois vulnérabilités, dont une faille de type XSS (cross-site scripting) et un problème d’injection SQL pouvant déboucher sur la création de vulnérabilités supplémentaires.

La semaine dernière, les développeurs du logiciel de CMS annonçaient dans un bulletin de sécurité que les nouveaux correctifs remédiaient à trois importants problèmes de sécurité, tous affectant WordPress versions 4.7.1 et antérieures.

Four WordPress WPML Plugin Vulnerabilities Impact 400,000 Websites | CyberSecurity | #digcit | WordPress and Annotum for Education, Science,Journal Publishing | Scoop.it

From blog.norsecorp.com - March 16, 2015 6:18 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

Multiple vulnerabilities in the WPML plugin that could allow attackers to access databases, delete site content, and gain administrative privileges have put as many as 400,000 websites at risk.

WPML is a popular WordPress plugin used for creating multi-lingual websites, and researchers have uncovered four critical vulnerabilities, the most serious being a SQL injection flaw that can allow unauthenticated access to the website’s database, exposing user details and password hashes.
