WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
1. Reflected XSS in WordPress Plugin Admin Pages
- The administrative dashboard in WordPress is a pretty safe place: Only elevated users can access it. Exploiting a plugin’s admin panel would serve very little purpose here — an administrator already has the required permissions to do all of the actions a vulnerability could cause.
File Manager Plugins :
- The Critical Zero-Day wordpress file manager plugin is generally used to allow website users to upload image files, but a flaw in the plugin’s file type checking could allow a user to upload a file with an embedded web shell. That web shell could then be used to launch a site takeover against the victim.
- The WordPress plugin is the subject of a zero-day vulnerability that may expose more than 700,000 sites to malicious exploit.
- Around 1.7 million websites have so far been attacked by threat actors looking to exploit a critical zero-day vulnerability in the WordPress File Manager plugin.
