CVE-2014-9340

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions wpCommentTwit plugin version 0.5 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This is achieved via the username or password parameter in the "wpCommentTwit.php" page to "wp-admin/options-general.php" API endpoint.

Recommendations For wpCommentTwit plugin version 0.5 and earlier, consider disabling access to the wpCommentTwit.php page until a patch is available. Restrict access to the wp-admin/options-general.php endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the username and password parameters in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
