A security flaw in a popular WordPress plugin has been patched, preventing hackers from potentially taking over an entire blog installation.
Yoast, the maker of the popular “wordpress-seo” plugin for the blogging platform, said it has patched a cross-site request forgery flaw that allowed a blind SQL attack. That could’ve allowed a hacker to modify the back-end database, which might have allowed the insertion of malware, adware, spam links, or other unwanted content. The flaw required some work by a malicious actor, however. An authorized WordPress user would have had to be tricked into clicking a carefully-crafted link in order for a hacker to exploit the flaw.
