DescriptionCVE.org

The Defender Security WordPress plugin before 6.2.0 does not restrict a network-wide setting to network administrators, allowing an administrator of any single site on a multisite network to execute arbitrary code across the entire network.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary code execution across entire WordPress multisite networks is possible in the Defender Security plugin (versions 5.0.0 through 6.1.x) due to a missing access control check on a network-wide setting. Any site-level administrator on a multisite installation - a role with significantly lower trust than a network/super administrator - can modify this setting to inject and execute code affecting all sites on the network. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress site administrator account - not a network/super administrator - on a WordPress multisite installation running Defender Security plugin versions 5.0.0 through 6.1.x. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.

Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Defender Security to version 6.2.0 or later, the vendor-confirmed patched release that correctly restricts the network-wide setting to network administrators. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
