Resolved Security hole to be fixed

[VirtualCed]

Hello,

It seems there is a hole in Wordpress that could make easy to crash remotely any WP.

Information Security: How to DoS 29% of the World Wide Websites - CVE-2018-6389

A solution has been provided by someone, it's here WordPress/wp-dos-patch.sh at master · Quitten/WordPress · GitHub

This script make small changes to protect from this attack.

What is the best way to apply it to all wp site installed in a Plesk environment ?

Best regards

I can say that we are studying the technical possibilities of solving this security problem and preparing a special patch. Most probably that we implement it by adding an additional security-checker.

Hi everyone,

We've released WordPress Toolkit 2.5.1 update with a new optional security checker that addresses this issue. Hope this helps!
