Understanding CVE-2026-9629 and Its Implications A recent vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-9629 has been discovered in the Canvas plugin for WordPress. This flaw affects versions up to and including 2.5.2. Specifically, it allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to exploit vulnerabilities via the 'tag' parameter. This vulnerability enables attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts […]

Critical Vulnerability Detected in FooGallery Plugin The FooGallery plugin for WordPress has been identified with a medium-severity vulnerability that poses a significant threat to server security. This flaw allows authenticated users with minimal access to execute stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks using the `custom_attribute_key` shortcode parameter. Overview of the Vulnerability Versions of FooGallery up to […]

The current world war isn’t happening in the physical world. However, cyber attacks have stepped into the foreground, and blackhat hackers can gain millions with their targeted attacks. Their main weapon in this war: malware. In this article, we’ll diversify the different types of malware so that you can better understand their behaviour. There are […]

We like attending meetups because we believe that great ideas are created when we share our experience and knowledge. That’s why we decided to organize regularly an IT security meetup in our town, Debrecen. On 24th August, we held our third meetup and we are so happy that the number of the attendees is increasing. […]

As a member of the BitNinja Development Team, one of our most important tasks is to develop the protection of BitNinja. When we deal with such a process we can see how an attack works or how a botnet can exploit a vulnerability. It's almost like watching these events behind the scenes. That's why this […]

Our world would be insecure without bug bounty platforms. We don’t know who we can or cannot trust. If we find a vulnerability in a software as a white hat hacker, we would be afraid to report it to the software owners because we wouldn’t know what their reaction would be. Will they reward or […]

The “Hello, Peppa!” botnet and the /ept/out.php vulnerability were newly discovered attacks by our Attack Vector Miner. But now, it has recognized the reactivation of a forgotten IoT botnet. This botnet exploits the D-Link router DSL-2750B  remote command execution. What does the attack look like?  The discovered pattern is the /login.cgi?cli= as you can see below:  In the case of the D-Link router DSL-2750B firmware 1.01 to 1.03, there’s an option for remote command […]

In a previous article, we’ve discussed the BitNinja safe minimum ruleset for the BitNinja WAF, that consists of 15 rules from the OWASP Core Ruleset, along with 6 rules from the BitNinja rules category. These rules can be safely enabled on the root location pattern on your server. In the BitNinja Ruleset, there are 5 […]

After the “Hello, Peppa!”  zero-day botnet, our Attack Vector Miner detected another zero-day vulnerability.  Some vulnerable websites contain an /ept/out.php file, which can work as an open proxy. That’s why the attacker scans the /ept/out.php file. Let’s see an example:  The number of these attacks started to increase on July 11th, and as we can see in the diagram below, the botnet’s activity is slowing down […]

Our Attack Vector Miner (based on AI) is a very effective tool to identify 0. day attacks. Here comes the first catch! Discovery of a New Botnet At the beginning of July, our Attack Vector Miner created a new cluster, filled with logs about a new type of botnet. We perceived the first incident on […]

In the preceding articles, I’ve talked a lot about the BitNinja safe minimum ruleset template and how you should enable it on your “/” location (or on “*/wp-admin/*” if needed) if you’re hosting mainly WordPress websites. So I’d like to give you a little more explanation about the rules that are part of the safe […]

Understanding CVE-2026-9061 and Its Implications for Server Security The recent discovery of CVE-2026-9061 presents serious risks for website operators using the Store Locator WordPress plugin. Versions prior to 1.6.9 contain a vulnerability that allows high-privileged users, such as administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This situation underscores the critical importance of robust server […]

Introduction The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving. One of the latest threats comes from a critical vulnerability in the Agile Store Locator plugin for WordPress. Known as CVE-2026-9062, this security flaw can allow attackers to exploit your server if not addressed. Understanding this vulnerability can help system administrators and hosting providers strengthen their server security. […]

Understanding CVE-2026-9109: A Threat to Server Security Recently, a vulnerability named CVE-2026-9109 has come to light, significantly impacting the GPTranslate plugin for WordPress. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to execute stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks through REST API endpoints. Given the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, understanding and mitigating such vulnerabilities has never been more […]
