NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200701-10.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200701-10 (WordPress: Multiple vulnerabilities) When decoding trackbacks with alternate character sets, WordPress does not correctly sanitize the entries before further modifying a SQL query. WordPress also displays different error messages in wp-login.php based upon whether or not a user exists. David Kierznowski has discovered that WordPress fails to properly sanitize recent file information in /wp-admin/templates.php before sending that information to a browser. Impact : An attacker could inject arbitrary SQL into WordPress database queries. An attacker could also determine if a WordPress user existed by trying to login as that user, better facilitating brute-force attacks. Lastly, an attacker authenticated to view the administrative section of a WordPress instance could try to edit a file with a malicious filename; this may cause arbitrary HTML or JavaScript to be executed in users last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 24208 published 2007-01-17 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/24208 title GLSA-200701-10 : WordPress: Multiple vulnerabilities NASL family CGI abuses NASL id WORDPRESS_TRACKBACK_CHARSET_SQL_INJECTION.NASL description The version of WordPress on the remote host supports trackbacks in alternate character sets and decodes them after escaping SQL parameters.
