WordPress Vulnerability Report – July 12, 2023

Written by on

Last Updated on July 13, 2023

Since last week, 82 total vulnerabilities emerged in public disclosure. They may affect over 4 million WordPress sites. There are 46 plugin vulnerabilities and one theme vulnerability with security patches available, so run those updates!

Additionally, there are 34 plugin vulnerabilities and one theme vulnerability with no patch available yet. If you discover you are using an unpatched plugin or theme, check their vendors’ intentions and progress on a security release. If no patch is forthcoming or the vulnerable software has been marked “closed” and dropped from the official WordPress theme and plugin repositories, you should consider deactivation and removal in favor of alternative solutions.

From WPTavern: All-In-One Security Plugin Patches Sensitive Data Exposure Vulnerability in Version 5.2.0. AIOS is used by over a million sites. See Sarah Gooding’s post at the Tavern for more details. Ideally, AIOS users should apply the security update and reset all user passwords.

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 that have not been updated by site owners are the most common vector for attacks on WordPress websites. Our weekly WordPress Vulnerability Report, powered by Patchstack, covers new WordPress plugin, theme, and core vulnerabilities that have emerged since last week’s report. Our goal is to spread awareness of emerging security threats and help you decide what to do if you are using 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.
