WordPress Vulnerability Report – March 1, 2023

Written by on

Last Updated on March 1, 2023

Vulnerable plugins and themes are some of the most common vectors for attacks on WordPress websites. Our weekly WordPress Vulnerability Report, now powered by Patchstack, covers new WordPress plugins, themes, and core vulnerabilities that have emerged since last week’s report. Our goal is to help you decide what to do if you are using one of these vulnerable plugins or themes on your website. For a deeper, historical analysis of WordPress vulnerabilities and threat vectors, see our 2022 Annual Vulnerability Report.

The Future of Authentication is Passkeys! Log into your WordPress site with Biometrics only available in iThemes Security Pro.

Credential stuffing, phishing, and brute force attacks using stolen, guessable, or reused passwords have made our digital lives less secure. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) offers some protection but at the cost of usability and accessibility. Fewer than 30% of all online account holders actually use 2FA. Password-based logins are broken.

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 6.1.1 as soon as possible! As always, with a major release like this, ensure your site is backed up with BackupBuddy before updating.

WordPress 6.2 Beta 4

WordPress 6.2 Beta 4 rolled out today for testing after being postponed for a few days to deal with a regression. As of Beta 4, over 400 Trac issues have been raised and closed this cycle. The current target for the final release date is still March 28, 2023.

So far, the 6.2 release cycle has made more than 292 enhancements and 354 bug fixes just for the editor. A running total of 289 tickets have been closed in Trac for the 6.2 milestone, with more to come.

In the final 6.2 release, expect to see tight integration with Openverse in the editor and media library. The Navigation block has been significantly improved. A new Style Book feature displays all blocks in the current global styles, and there’s new custom CSS support for your full site and individual blocks. For more details on new features in 6.2, see the Beta 1 release news.

With the arrival of WordPress 6.2, Phase Two of Gutenberg’s development will have ended. Phase Two focused on the Block and Site Editor features that now allow deep customization of site designs and layouts. Next, Phase Three will focus on collaborative editing features. Take a look at the WordPress Development Roadmap to learn more.

Gutenberg 15.2

The latest release of the Gutenberg plugin, version 15.2, is available now if you’d like to get a preview of bleeding-edge features. Please note the 15.2 release offers new features that will be included in the WordPress 6.3 core release but not 6.2. These features include revisions for the full site template editor so you can roll back changes to site templates.

Other new features of note in Gutenberg 15.2 are CSS aspect-ratio controls for the Featured Image block for posts and support for border color, style, and width in the Button block. There’s new typography support for the Latest Comments block, and the Post Excerpt block will have an excerpt length limit control. You’ll find accessibility improvements to labeling, tab, arrow key navigation, and the hierarchy of headings in the editor interface. See the version notes for the full details about many other enhancements and bug fixes.
