Hacked and defaced site not flagged, WordPress issues...
« on: May 02, 2016, 11:09:56 AM »
See: http://killmalware.com/dollar-cards.com/
WordPress Version
3.3.2
Version does not appear to be latest 4.5.1 - update now.
WordPress Plugins
The following plugins were detected by reading the HTML source of the WordPress sites front page.

google-analyticator 6.2   latest release (6.4.9.7) Update required
http://www.videousermanuals.com/google-analyticator/
all-in-one-seo-pack   latest release (2.3.4.1)
http://semperfiwebdesign.com
Plugins are a source of many security vulnerabilities within WordPress installations, always keep them updated to the latest version available and check the developers plugin page for information about security related updates and fixes.

Warning User Enumeration is possible  :o
The first two user ID's were tested to determine if user enumeration is possible.

ID   User    Login
1   admin   admin
2      None
It is recommended to rename the admin user account to reduce the chance of brute force attacks occurring. As this will reduce the chance of automated password attackers gaining access. However it is important to understand that if the author archives are enabled it is usually possible to enumerate all users within a WordPress installation.

Warning Directory Indexing Enabled  :o
In the test we attempted to list the directory contents of the uploads and plugins folders to determine if Directory Indexing is enabled. This is an information leakage vulnerability that can reveal sensitive information regarding your site configuration or content.

/wp-content/uploads/ enabled
/wp-content/plugins/ disabled
Directory indexing was tested on the /wp-content/uploads/ and /wp-content/plugins/ directores. Note that other directories may have this web server feature enabled, so ensure you check other folders in your installation. It is good practice to ensure directory indexing is disabled for your full WordPress installation either through the web server configuration or .htaccess.
