GONZALEZ BRITO, Henry Raúl. Study of cyber attack attempts patterns associated with vulnerabilities of the RevSlider plugin. Rev cuba cienc informat [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.1, pp. 43-57. ISSN 2227-1899.

The article describes the patterns of attempts of cyber attacks against web applications based on WordPress through the RevSlider plugin. The presence of outdated and vulnerable versions of RevSlider has compromised hundreds of thousands of sites since the year 2014. The study was conducted through the analysis of Internet access traces of domains and web applications over ten months. It describes the intensity level of the attacks for months, the base routes used, the names of resources used, the WordPress themes scanned and the use of IP addresses. It is concluded that no studied web application was compromised and that it is necessary to maintain regular updates of the technological base of web applications.
