Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2014-007342

DESCRIPTION

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the SPNbabble plugin 1.4.1 and earlier for WordPress allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via the (1) username or (2) password parameter in the spnbabble.php page to wp-admin/options-general.php. WordPress is a blogging platform developed using the PHP language. Users can set up their own blogs on servers that support PHP and MySQL databases. # Title: CSRF/XSS Vulnerability in SPNbabble WP Plugin # Author: Manideep K # CVE-ID: \xa0CVE-2014-9339 # Plugin Homepage: https://wordpress.org/plugins/spnbabble/ # Version Affected: 1.4.1 (probably lower versions) # Severity: High # About Plugin: SPNbabble (http://spnbabble.sitepronews.com) allows users to create an account and post 140 character blogs with urls to send out messages to your followers.
