This signature detects attempts to exploit a known remote file inclusion vulnerability in Wordpress due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in Annonces plugin. A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a target to open a malicious URL link. A successful attack can result in arbitrary code execution and loss of sensitive information.
The Annonces plug-in for WordPress is prone to a remote file-include vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible. Annonces 1.2.0.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
