HTTP: WordPress ComicPress Manager Plugin lang Parameter Cross Site Scripting
This signature detects attempts to exploit a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WordPress ComicPress manager plugin. Attackers can steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Extended Description
The ComicPress Manager plugin for WordPress is prone to a cross-site-scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to 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. ComicPress Manager 1.4.9.2 and 1.4.9.9 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
