Essentially, a pingback is an XML-RPC request (not to be confused with an ICMP ping) sent from Site A to Site B, when an author of the blog at Site A writes a post that links to Site B. The request includes the URI of the linking page. When Site B receives the notification signal, it automatically goes back to Site A checking for the existence ...
This attack occurs when XML input containing a reference to an external entity is processed by a weakly configured XML parser. This attack may lead to the disclosure of confidential data, DoS attacks, server-side request forgery, port scanning from the perspective of the machine where the parser is located, and other [which?] system impacts.

If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Standardised user warning templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Standardised user warning templates]]</noinclude>
In XML-RPC, a client performs an RPC by sending an HTTP request to a server that implements XML-RPC and receives the HTTP response. A call can have multiple parameters and one result. The protocol defines a few data types for the parameters and result. Some of these data types are complex, i.e. nested.
This category includes all of the user warning templates. Some of these templates are used by a large number of editors and admins involved in user disputes, so changes to them should be made with care. In general, these templates should be placed on a user's talk page. These templates should be substituted.
A reflected attack is typically delivered via email or a neutral web site. The bait is an innocent-looking URL, pointing to a trusted site but containing the XSS vector. If the trusted site is vulnerable to the vector, clicking the link can cause the victim's browser to execute the injected script.
Cross-site request forgery, also known as one-click attack or session riding and abbreviated as CSRF (sometimes pronounced sea-surf [1]) or XSRF, is a type of malicious exploit of a website or web application where unauthorized commands are submitted from a user that the web application trusts. [2]
If the resetpassword.php accepts these values, it is vulnerable to a semantic URL attack. The new password of the user002 e-mail address will be generated and sent to alternative@emailexmaple.com which causes user002's e-mail account to be stolen. One method of avoiding semantic URL attacks is by using session variables. [1]
