Input validation vulnerability in CataBlog 1.6.3

  • Severity: medium-risk
  • Status: Open
  • Publication: May 11, 2012

The CataBlog plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a type of cyber attack called Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. This attack works by using several parameters in versions before 1.6.3. These versions don’t have enough protection in place to check for and block malicious input. As a result, attackers can inject malicious web scripts into WordPress pages. This happens when a user is tricked into clicking a link or taking some other action.
