Started getting a lot of reports from my wordpress blog today.

A Chinese IP is requesting the following url:-

blog.petermcdonald.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/wordspew/wordspew-rss.php?id=-998877+UNION+SELECT+0,1,0x6875616B,3,4,5%23

As you can see they are requesting a page for a plugin called wordspew. If you look at the url you will also see they are doing something a bit nefarious. They are trying to add the following to an sql statement:-

id = -998877 UNION SELECT 0,1,0x6875616B,3,4,5#

If you use the wordspew plugin I strongly suggest you delete it as a precaution for the time being until an update is released.

secunia reports this as an unpatched vulnerability from 2008, affecting version 3 of wordspew. i don't know if more recent versions have fixed this.
