CVE-2024-9707

CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 9.08%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (9.08%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The Hunk Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized plugin installation/activation due to a missing capability check on the /wp-json/hc/v1/themehunk-import REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install and activate arbitrary plugins which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution if another vulnerable plugin is installed and activated.
