For now, the only thing GDPR has done is made GDPR consulting companies rich, increased the use of javascript on web sites so they can pop-up useless banners we keep telling users not to click on and increase the size of email messages to include mandatory postscripts (that should really be at the beginning of the message, but, hey, faux privacy is faux privacy).<\/p>\n<p>Those are just a few of the &#8220;unintended consequences&#8221; of GDPR. Just like Let&#8217;s Encrypt &amp; &#8220;HTTPS Everywhere&#8221; turned into &#8220;Let&#8217;s Enable Criminals and Hurt Real People With Successful Phishing Attacks&#8221;, GDPR is going to cause a great deal of downstream issues that either the designers never thought of or decided &#8212; in their infinite, superior wisdom &#8212; were completely acceptable to make themselves feel better.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s installment of &#8220;GDPR Unintended Consequences&#8221; is <strong>WordPress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>WordPress &#8220;powers&#8221; a <a href=\"https:\/\/w3techs.com\/technologies\/details\/cm-wordpress\/all\/all\"><em>substantial<\/em> part of the internet<\/a>. As such, it is a perma-target of attackers.<\/p>\n<p>Since the GDPR Intelligentsia provided a far-too-long lead-time on both the inaugural and mandated enforcement dates for GDPR and also created far more confusion with the regulations than clarity, WordPress owners are flocking to &#8220;single button install&#8221; solutions to make them magically GDPR compliant (<code>#protip<\/code> that&#8217;s not &#8220;a thing&#8221;). Here&#8217;s a short list of plugins and active installation counts (no links since I&#8217;m not going to encourage attack surface expansion):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WP GDPR Compliance : 50,000+ active installs<\/li>\n<li>GDPR : 10,000+ active installs<\/li>\n<li>The GDPR Framework : 6,000+ installs<\/li>\n<li>GDPR Cookie Compliance : 10,000+ active installs<\/li>\n<li>GDPR Cookie Consent : <strong>200,000+<\/strong> active installs<\/li>\n<li>WP GDPR : 4,000 active installs<\/li>\n<li>Cookiebot | GDPR Compliant Cookie Consent and Notice : 10,000+ active installations<\/li>\n<li>GDPR Tools : 500+ active installs<\/li>\n<li>Surbma \u2014 GDPR Proof Cookies : 400+ installs<\/li>\n<li>Social Media Share Buttons &amp; Social Sharing Icons (which &#8220;enhanced&#8221; GDPR compatibility) : <strong>100,000+<\/strong> active installs<\/li>\n<li>iubenda Cookie Solution for GDPR : 10,000+ active installs<\/li>\n<li>Cookie Consent : <strong>100,000+<\/strong> active installs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m somewhat confident that a fraction of those publishers follow secure coding guidelines (it may be a <em>small<\/em> fraction). But, if I was an attacker, I&#8217;d be poking pretty hard at a few of those with six-figure installs to see if I could find a usable exploit.<\/p>\n<p>GDPR just gave attackers a huge footprint of homogeneous resources to attempt at-scale exploits. They will very likely succeed (over-and-over-and-over again).
