HTTP: WordPress Sermon Browser Plugin Cross Site Scripting
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WordPress Sermon Browser Plugin. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. Attackers can steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
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.
