Increased Exploitation in Web Content Management Systems

Original release date: September 21, 2012
Last revised: --

US-CERT is aware of recent increases in the exploitation of known
vulnerabilities in web content management systems (CMSs) such as
Wordpress and Joomla. Compromised CMS installations can be used to host
malicious content.

US-CERT recommends that users and administrators ensure that their CMS
installations are patched or upgraded to remove known vulnerabilities.
This may require contacting the hosting provider. Also, users and
administrators can check for known vulnerabilities in the National
Vulnerability Database by searching their CMS by name.
