Newspaper X

Newspaper X has 2 disclosed vulnerabilities in the WordSec catalog, all reported in 2020; all 2 are fixed as of September 2026. Their average CVSS score is 8.2, and the most serious one scores 9.8 out of 10. Severity breakdown: 1 critical and 0 high. 2020 was the busiest year with 2 disclosures.

The most common weakness is Code Injection, behind 1 of the records (50%). Other recurring categories include Improper Access Control.

Every one of the 2 issues recorded for Newspaper X has a vendor fix available, so running the current release closes all known holes.

All of these findings were reported by Jerome Bruandet. Newspaper X is installed on roughly 500 WordPress sites, so each unpatched flaw has a wide blast radius. The upstream project has not shipped an update in about 5 years, so new fixes are unlikely to arrive on their own.
