Vulnerabilities

CVE-2024-10924 is a critical (CVSS 9.8) unauthenticated authentication bypass in the Really Simple Security plugin for WordPress (Free, Pro, and Pro Multisite editions), affecting versions 9.0.0 through 9.1.1.1. It stems from improper user check error handling in the 'check_login_and_get_user' function used by the two-factor REST API actions, and can be triggered when the plugin's 'Two-Factor Authentication' setting is enabled (it is disabled by default). An unauthenticated attacker can exploit it to log in as any existing user on the site, including an administrator, gaining full control of the affected WordPress site. Any WordPress site running one of the affected plugin versions with two-factor authentication turned on is exposed, and public reporting indicates the plugin is installed on more than 4 million sites. As of the latest data there is no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation, no public proof-of-concept, and it is not in CISA's KEV catalog, but EPSS assigns an 82% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (99th+ percentile), so rapid patching is warranted.

Do: Update the Really Simple Security plugin to a fixed release (any version after 9.1.1.1) on all Free, Pro, and Pro Multisite installations. As an interim mitigation, disable the 'Two-Factor Authentication' setting or restrict access to the WordPress REST API until patched. After updating, review recent authentication logs and administrator accounts for signs of unauthorized logins.

The Complianz – GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 6.5.6. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the process_delete function in class-DNSMPD.php. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete GDPR data requests via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

The Complianz – GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to and including 6.5.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
