This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Wordpress. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
WordPress is prone to a remote PHP code-injection vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to facilitate a compromise of the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible. For a successful exploit of this issue, the MySQL password used in the application must be either blank or trivial to guess.
