Costa Rica’s newly-elected president has declared a national state of emergency, as its ongoing crisis costs the nation an estimated USD $38 million a day.
Perhaps in a different time, we would assumed the country had been struck by a devasting natural disaster or was struggling with some internal conflict—but times have changed. Costa Rica has been struck not by an earthquake or a bomb or a strike, but by a new national crisis: cybercrime.
Handling cyberattacks has become an everyday activity of every nation on the planet, as they try to navigate the “wild west” of the modern internet. Nation-states, for-profit cybercrime syndicates, political activists, and determined pranksters trawl the web every hour of every day, looking for their next victim. And what better victim than a nation’s government network? Government networks and systems are loaded with resources and information, including personal data that is vital for federal and civilian operations. At the same time, they are often behind the curve on security best practices, making government websites and systems prime targets.
The IMDB info box WordPress plugin through 2.0 does not sanitize and escape some of its settings, which could allow high-privileged users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed
The BannerMan WordPress plugin through 0.2.4 does not sanitize or escape its settings, which could allow high-privileged users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks when the unfiltered_html is disallowed (such as in multisite)
The Content Mask WordPress plugin before 1.8.4.1 does not have authorisation and CSRF checks in various AJAX actions, as well as does not validate the option to be updated to ensure it belongs to the plugin. As a result, any authenticated user, such as subscriber could modify arbitrary blog options
The Smush WordPress plugin before 3.9.9 does not sanitise and escape a configuration parameter before outputting it back in an admin page when uploading a malicious preset configuration, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. For the attack to be successful, an attacker would need an admin to upload a malicious configuration file
The JivoChat Live Chat WordPress plugin before 1.3.5.4 does not properly check CSRF tokens on POST requests to the plugins admin page, and does not sanitise some parameters, leading to a stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability where an attacker can trick a logged in administrator to inject arbitrary javascript.
The User Meta WordPress plugin before 2.4.3 does not sanitise and escape the Form Name, as well as Shared Field Labels before outputting them in the admin dashboard when editing a form, which could allow high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when unfiltered_html is disallowed
