Subject: [USGENWEB-DISCUSS] If you use Wordpress
Thousands of websites are at risk of being exploited by a previously
undisclosed vulnerability in a WordPress plugin, which researchers say
could be used to inject malicious code into websites.
The flaw exists in Fancybox, a popular image displaying tool, through
which Sucuri researchers say malware or any other script can be added to
a vulnerable site.
"It's being actively exploited in the wild, leading to many compromised
websites," the researchers wrote.
WordPress, which comes in two main flavors -- a hosted version and a
downloadable self-hosting version -- has already removed the plugin from
its repository. But researchers warn that with more than half-a-million
users of the plugin at risk, users should remove the plugin from their
own sites.
It's not clear how many websites are being actively exploited by the
flaw, however.
