HTTP: WordPress Sermon Browser Plugin SQL Injection
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known SQL injection vulnerability in the WordPress Sermon Browser Plugin. 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
The Sermon Browser plugin for WordPress is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and an SQL-injection vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. Sermon Browser 0.43 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
