WordPress Vulnerability Report – August 2, 2023

Written by on

Last Updated on August 2, 2023

Since last week, 94 total vulnerabilities emerged in public disclosure. They may affect over 7 million WordPress sites. There are 56 plugin vulnerabilities with security patches, so run those updates!

Additionally, there are 35 plugin vulnerabilities and three theme 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.

FREE ONLINE TRAINING EVENT AUG 8TH @ 1:00 P.M. (CT)

New research from Snicco, WeWatchYourWebsite, Automattic-backed GridPane, and PatchStack claims WordPress security plugins with malware scanners are fundamentally flawed. And they’re being actively defeated by malware in the wild right now!

In this webinar, StellarWP technical writer Dan Knauss will explain the problem with malware scanners and the WordPress security best practices you need to implement to keep your sites truly safe.

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.

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.

Never worry about running a vulnerable plugin or theme again.

As you can see from this report, new WordPress plugin and theme vulnerabilities are disclosed every week. We know it can be difficult to stay on top of every reported vulnerability disclosure that matters to you, so the Themes Security Pro plugin makes it easy to ensure your site isn’t running a vulnerable theme, plugin, or version of WordPress core.

Scans Your Website Twice a Day for Vulnerabilities

Your website’s plugins, themes, and WordPress core versions are checked against the Patchstack Vulnerability Database for the latest vulnerability disclosures.

Automatically Updates if a Security Fix is Available

Paired with Version Management, iThemes Security will automatically update a plugin, theme, or WordPress core version if it has a vulnerability.

Emails You a Warning if Site Scan Detects a Vulnerability

You can receive an email report if your site is running vulnerable versions of a plugin, theme, or WordPress core. Customize the email addresses that receive scan results.
