Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2024
The Shield Security – Smart Bot Blocking & Intrusion Prevention Security plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 18.5.9 via the render_action_template parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attacker to include and execute PHP files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files.
The Display custom fields in the frontend – Post and User Profile Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Code Injection via the plugin's vg_display_data shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1 due to insufficient input validation and restriction on access to that shortcode. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to call arbitrary functions and execute code.
The Author Box, Guest Author and Co-Authors for Your Posts – Molongui plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.4 via the 'ma_debu' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including post author emails and names if applicable.
This plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'place_id' attribute. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
The Unlimited Addons for WPBakery Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to insufficient file type validation on the 'importZipFile' function in versions up to, and including, 1.0.42. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with a role that the administrator previously granted access to the plugin (the default is editor role, but access can also be granted to contributor role), to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
The Better Search Replace plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4 via deserialization of untrusted input. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No POP chain is present in the vulnerable plugin. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code.
The PDF Generator For Fluent Forms – The Contact Form Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the header, PDF body and footer content parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The exploitation level depends on who is granted the right to create forms by an administrator. This level can be as low as contributor, but by default is admin.
The Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the recaptcha_api_key_manage function in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to add, modify, or delete the 'Recaptcha Site Key' and 'Recaptcha Secret Key' settings.
The Getwid – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to CAPTCHA Bypass in versions up to, and including, 2.0.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass the Captcha Verification of the Contact Form block by omitting 'g-recaptcha-response' from the 'data' array.
The EditorsKit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation on the 'import_styles' function in versions up to, and including, 1.40.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level capabilities or above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
