WordPress Vulnerability Report – September 27, 2023

Written by

Dan Knauss

on

September 27, 2023

Last Updated on September 27, 2023

Since last week, 48 total vulnerabilities have emerged in public disclosure. They may affect over three million WordPress sites. There are 39 plugin vulnerabilities with security patches, so run those updates!

Additionally, there are nine plugin vulnerabilities with no patch available yet. If you use an unpatched plugin or theme, check their vendors’ intentions and progress on a security release. Suppose no patch is forthcoming or the vulnerable software has been marked “closed” and dropped from the official WordPress theme and plugin repositories. In that case, you should consider deactivation and removal in favor of alternative solutions.

WordPress Core Vulnerabilities — Patched

  • No new WordPress core vulnerabilities were disclosed this week.

WordPress core is very secure when it’s properly configured and maintained. Vulnerable plugins not updated by site owners are the most common vector for attacks on WordPress websites. Our weekly WordPress Vulnerability Report, powered by Patchstack, covers new vulnerabilities that have emerged in plugins, themes, and/or WordPress core since last week’s report. Our goal is to spread awareness of emerging security threats and help you decide what to do if you find vulnerable software on your website. For a deeper analysis of recent trends in WordPress vulnerabilities and threat vectors, see our 2022 Annual Vulnerability Report.

These reports are published every Wednesday and include all active vulnerabilities tracked by Patchstack as of Monday since the previous report. This leaves a 48-hour window for the newest emerging vulnerabilities to be patched before full public disclosure. iThemes Security Pro users have access to vulnerability alerts emerging within this window.

Get the weekly WordPress Vulnerability Report delivered to your inbox each Wednesday.

WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities — Patched

In this section, you’ll find the most recently disclosed WordPress plugin vulnerabilities fixed with a new release from their authors and maintainers. Please apply the updates if you are affected!

These vulnerabilities have been disclosed and scored for their severity, thanks to our friends at Patchstack. Each plugin listing includes the type of vulnerability with its CVE number and CVSS severity rating with links to more technical details. You’ll also see the number of active sites using the plugin and the plugin version release that patches the vulnerability. We start with the most popular plugins, representing the largest target for attackers.

WordPress Theme Vulnerabilities

In this section, you’ll find the latest WordPress theme vulnerabilities to be disclosed. You’ll see the same information we provided above for vulnerable plugins, and the same advice applies. If a security update exists, install it immediately. If a vulnerability remains unpatched in a theme you are actively using, you must find an alternative theme. Deactivate and delete persistently unpatched themes and those marked “Closed” in the WordPress.org theme repository. If you have a vulnerable theme installed that you are not actively using, delete it.

  • No new WordPress theme vulnerabilities were disclosed this week.
