Vulnerable Plugins

Wednesday, August 27th, 2014

I’ve been doing more analysis of my logs. I found a robot looking for a list of plugins. I can only assume that these plugins have or have had exploitable code. Probably the bugs have been fixed, but I would go through this list and be very careful about verifying this if you use one of these plugins.

I am adding these to my “Protection” plugin 404 module to mark the ip addresses as dangerous.

The robot searched for these files:
