漏洞的影響

Potential Risks

Unaddressed vulnerabilities can lead to severe consequences such as data breaches, site defacement, and malware infections. For instance, an unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability could allow an attacker to upload malicious files, leading to full site compromise.

真實場景

Consider a scenario where a critical SQL injection vulnerability in a popular plugin is exploited. An attacker could gain unauthorized access to the site’s database, steal sensitive information, and manipulate site content. In another case, an unpatched cross-site scripting vulnerability could be exploited to execute malicious scripts in the context of a user’s browser, potentially leading to session hijacking or phishing attacks.
