Vulnerability Overview

The AddToAny Share Buttons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Host Header Injections in versions up to, and including, 1.7.14. This is due to a failure to properly validate the HTTP request header. This makes it possible for unauthorized attackers to poison the website cache and log users credentials.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.7.15, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation) The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.
