CVE-2011-4898
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5)—💥 Exploit
** CONTROVERTIDO ** wp-admin/setup-config.php en el componente de instalación de WordPress v3.3.1 y anteriores genera diferentes mensajes de error para las solicitudes que carecen de un parámetro dbname dependiendo de si las credenciales MySQL son válidas, lo facilita a los atacantes remotos a la hora de llevar a cabo ataque de fuerza bruta a través de un gran numero de peticiones con diferentes parámetros 'uname' y 'pwd'. NOTA: el vendedor se opone a la importancia de este problema. Por otra parte, tampoco está claro si proporcionar mensajes de error intencionalmente vagos durante la instalación es razonable desde la perspectiva de la usabilidad.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Puntuación base: 5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 9.21%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 95
- Fecha de la puntuación: 8/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
