WordPress Vulnerability Report – May 3, 2023

Written by on

Last Updated on May 25, 2023

This week, 94 vulnerabilities may affect over 8.6 million WordPress sites. There are 40 plugin vulnerabilities with security patches available, so run those updates if you use these plugins! Additionally, there are 46 plugin vulnerabilities and 8 more in themes with no patch available yet. At least five of these have been closed and dropped from the wordpress.org plugin directory so far. If you are using any unpatched plugins or themes, check their vendors’ intentions and progress on a security release. If no patch is forthcoming or the vulnerable plugin or theme has been closed, you should consider deactivation and removal in favor of alternative solutions.

Our weekly vulnerability 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.

  • 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.

WordPress Theme Vulnerabilities

In this section, you’ll find the latest WordPress theme vulnerabilities to be disclosed. You’ll see the same information 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 will need to find an alternative theme. Deactivate and delete persistently unpatched themes and those that have been “Closed” in the WordPress.org theme repository. If you have a vulnerable theme installed that you are not actively using, simply delete it.
