WordPress Vulnerability Report – November 23, 2022

Vulnerable plugins and themes are the #1 reason WordPress websites get hacked. The weekly WordPress Vulnerability Report powered by WPScan covers recent WordPress plugin, theme, and core vulnerabilities and what to do if you run one of the vulnerable plugins or themes on your website.

Each vulnerability will have a severity rating of low, medium, high, or critical. Responsible disclosure and reporting of vulnerabilities is an integral part of keeping the WordPress community safe. Please share this post with your friends to help get the word out and make WordPress safer for everyone!

The Future of Authentication is Passkeys! Login to your WordPress site with Biometrics only available in iThemes Security Pro

The problems of brute force attacks through credential stuffing, phishing attacks, and reused passwords have made our digital lives less secure. We’ve all tried to encourage 2-factor authentication as a protection, but less than 30% of users actually use 2FA. Password-based logins are a problem.

The future of authentication is passkeys, and iThemes Security Pro is the first to bring this breakthrough technology to WordPress sites. Using breakthrough WebAuthn technology based on public/private cryptography, passkeys make passwords obsolete. Now, website admins and end users can have secure logins without the inconvenience of additional two-factor apps, password managers, or complex password requirements.

WordPress Core News

WordPress 6.1.1 was released on November 15, 2022, as a short-cycle maintenance release with 29 bug fixes in Core and 21 bug fixes for the block editor. Because this is a core update, be sure to update to WordPress 6.0.1 as soon as possible! As always, with a major release like this, it makes sense to ensure your site is backed up with BackupBuddy before updating.

  • No new WordPress core vulnerabilities were disclosed this week.

WordPress Core Dropping Support for WordPress Versions 3.7. – 4.0

In more WordPress core security news, the WordPress Security Team will no longer provide security updates for WordPress core versions 3.7 – 4.0. Please make sure all your WordPress sites are running the latest version.
