HTTP: WordPress Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in WordPress. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue by manipulating the SQL query logic to carry out unauthorized actions on the underlying database.
Extended Description
WordPress is prone to multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query. Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. WordPress 3.1.3 and 3.2-RC1 are vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
