Vulnerability Overview

The Gtbabel plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to cookie stealing in all versions up to, and including, 6.6.8. This is due to the plugin transmitting cookie data via a URL. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to steal admin cookies which may make privilege escalation possible, if they can successfully trick in administrator into clicking a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 6.6.9, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-614 (Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without 'Secure' Attribute) The Secure attribute for sensitive cookies in HTTPS sessions is not set.
