Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2008-5113 (CCN-46698)

Assigned:2008-11-07
Published:2008-11-07
Updated:2017-08-08
Summary:WordPress 2.6.3 relies on the REQUEST superglobal array in certain dangerous situations, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct delayed and persistent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks via crafted cookies, as demonstrated by attacks that (1) delete user accounts or (2) cause a denial of service (loss of application access).
Note: this issue relies on the presence of an independent vulnerability that allows cookie injection.
