WordPress Security Threats – Jun/2012

June’s round-up of WordPress security threats. If you have one of these plugins, make sure you’ve updated to a new version that has the vulnerability fixed, or disable the plugin immediately.

If you feel you may have been hacked, use the Sucuri free scan tool.

Sucuri was fairly quiet on WordPress security threats in June, but it was a monster month on Packet Storm security.

WordPress Security Analysis – Jun/2012

June was a monster of a month for shell upload exploits. With a total count of 63 reported exploits in June on Packstorm Security, it was certainly a bad month.

The other plugin that really stood out for me was Foxypress. It’s a fairly popular shopping cart and it had two exploits. Both a shell upload and the uploadify.php exploit, previously covered by Sucuri.
