Dear Friends,
My earlier post about the XSS vulnerability turned out to be a False Alarm. Wordpress allows the privileged users to post comments without filtering the HTML tags but for a normal underprivileged user it will filter the tags. I am sorry for the inconvenience. My Intentions were to make all you guys aware of this vulnerability so that you could save your blog from being hacked.
But now I am glad that WordPress is safe.
Bad news for just about every WordPress blogger out there. It has been found that the latest version 3.2.1 of WordPress is vulnerable to XSS injection attack which allows users to inject malicious JavaScript as a result of failure in sanitizing the comments field. Without discussing much about what this vulnerability could do to your blog I will jump to how it works and the solution.
In the past few years a lot of social apps have been developed which has changed our life completely. Now a days, we have 2 lives, one which is the actual physical life and the other is a virtual life which we live through these social apps. Facebook has become a major part of this virtual life. Nobody wants anyone else to take control of their life. Since our virtual life is online, we need to take care that it is not hacked by any stupid hacker and used for their own benefit.

Facebook, the biggest social network with 500 million users, provides an interface to hit an unsuspecting crowd with malware and viruses. These viruses aren’t very difficult to detect if you are cautious enough. These Facebook viruses appear on your wall in forms of a bizarre or eye-catching stories and videos and once the user has clicked/liked the link, it is already late. The next step will be getting rid of your Facebook virus which is a time-consuming process. Its better to avoid spam messages and trojan viruses in the first place.
