Vulnerability Overview

Multiple plugins by itayamar for WordPress have been compromised via a supply chain attack.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to obtained backdoored access.

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
