In this report, 73 vulnerabilities have been publicly disclosed. Security patches for 48 of these plugins and themes are available now, so run those updates as soon as possible. If you’re a Solid Security Pro user, the version management tool may have already warned you and updated these plugins, depending on your settings.
Additionally, there are 25 plugin vulnerabilities with no patch available yet. If you’re a Solid Security Pro user, those vulnerabilities are already protected by the Solid Security firewall. Virtual patches from Patchstack will be applied when a vulnerability is considered high or medium risk. If no patch is forthcoming from the vendor or the vulnerable software has been marked “closed” and dropped from the official WordPress repositories, you should deactivate it soon and look for alternative solutions.
Along with poor user account security, vulnerable plugins and themes are among the reasons why WordPress websites get hacked. (See our Annual Vulnerability Report for 2022.) Unfortunately, cyberattacks are increasing in volume and sophistication. They’re also increasingly aimed at small to mid-sized businesses.
Our WordPress Vulnerability Report covers the latest emerging WordPress plugin, theme, and core vulnerabilities. Each vulnerability will have a severity rating of Low, Medium, High, or Critical. Responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities is essential to keeping the WordPress community safe. Please share this report to help spread the word and make WordPress — and the web — more secure.
