Rewterz Threat Alert – WordPress Plugin Remote Code Execution Flaw Exploited in the Wild
September 17, 2020Rewterz Threat Alert – Recent Wave of Sophisticated Malware Infecting Public Facing Websites
September 17, 2020
Severity
Medium
Analysis Summary
XML-RPC on WordPress, which is enabled by default, is actually an API that provides third-party applications and services the ability to interact with WordPress sites, rather than through a browser. Attackers use this channel to establish a remote connection to a WordPress site and make modifications without being directly logged in to your WordPress system. However, if a WordPress site didn’t disable XML-RPC, there is no limit to the number of login attempts that can be made by a hacker, meaning it is just a matter of time before a cybercriminal can gain access.
