What Happened With WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities in January 2018

If you want the best information and therefore best protection against vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins we provide you that through our service.

Here is what we did to keep those are already using our service secure from WordPress plugin vulnerabilities during January (and what you have been missing out on if you haven’t signed up yet):

Plugin Security Reviews

Paid customers of the service can suggest and vote on plugins to have a security review done by us. This month we released details for reviews of:

Plugin Vulnerabilities We Discovered and Publicly Disclosed This Month

We don’t just collect data on vulnerabilities in plugins that others have discovered, we also discover vulnerabilities through proactive monitoring of changes made to plugins, monitoring hackers’ activity, reviewing other vulnerabilities, and by doing additional checking on the security of plugins.

The most concerning vulnerabilities were a couple of vulnerabilities of types highly likely to be exploited in a plugin that was removed from the Plugin Directory 5 years ago but is still installed on 500+ websites according to wordpress.org.

Plugin Vulnerabilities We Helped Get Fixed This Month

Keeping your plugins up to date isn’t enough to keep you secure as these vulnerabilities in the current versions of plugins show:

Additional Vulnerabilities Added This Month

As usual, there were plenty of other vulnerabilities that we added to our data during the month. The most serious vulnerability here being an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in LearnDash LMS that was discovered after it was already being exploited.

The most concerning vulnerabilities were several we found in plugins that look like they might be being targeted by a hacker. For two of the plugins, the issues we found still exist (one of them still has a prior vulnerability we notified the developer about months ago).

Vulnerability Details: Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability in Booking Calendar

Our Vulnerability Details posts provide the details of vulnerabilities we didn't discover and access to them is limited to customers of our service due to other security companies trying to sponge off the work needed to create those instead of doing their own work.

For existing customers, please log in to your account to view the rest of the post.

If you are not currently a customer, you can try the service for free for the first month (there are a lot of other reason that you will want to sign up beyond access to posts like this one).

If you are a WordPress plugin security researcher please contact us to get free access to all of our Vulnerability Details posts.
