Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Eugene Dokukin.
The WordPress RokNewsPager plugin is vulnerable to Denial of Service via the 'src' parameter in the 'thumb.php' file in versions up to, and including, 1.17. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to slow the response time of the vulnerable service to an unusable speed and/or completely deny it.
