DescriptionCVE.org

Fluent Forms Pro 6.2.7 contains an embedded malicious code vulnerability introduced via a tampered plugin build served through a decommissioned update server. The tampered build introduced a rogue PHP file (libs/class-license-sync.php), loaded via a require_once directive added to fluentformpro.php, that established a backdoor REST API endpoint, dropped persistent PHP files in mu-plugins and uploads directories, installed a passwordless administrator account, and registered scheduled tasks that survived plugin removal.

AnalysisAI

Supply-chain backdoor in Fluent Forms Pro (Add-On Pack) 6.2.7 for WordPress was delivered as a tampered plugin build through a decommissioned update server, embedding malicious code (CWE-506) rather than a coding flaw. Any site that installed the poisoned 6.2.7 package gains a rogue license-sync PHP file that stands up an unauthenticated backdoor REST endpoint, creates a passwordless administrator, and drops persistent payloads that survive plugin removal. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Install tampered 6.2.7 build from decommissioned update server
Delivery
require_once loads rogue class-license-sync.php
Exploit
Backdoor REST endpoint and passwordless admin registered
Execution
Persistent PHP dropped in mu-plugins and uploads plus WP-Cron tasks
Impact
Remote unauthenticated full-site compromise surviving plugin removal

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the site installed the tampered Fluent Forms Pro 6.2.7 build distributed via the decommissioned update server - that install action is the precondition, and clean builds of the same version number are not affected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine top-priority incident rather than an inflated CVSS number: the vulnerability is not theoretical exploitability but the confirmed distribution of live malicious code, so any operator who pulled 6.2.7 from the compromised update server is already compromised at the point of install. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An administrator updates or installs Fluent Forms Pro 6.2.7 and unknowingly receives the trojanized package from the decommissioned update server; on load, the rogue class-license-sync.php silently registers a backdoor REST endpoint and creates a passwordless admin account. A remote attacker who knows the implant then calls the hidden endpoint unauthenticated (or logs in as the planted admin) to run arbitrary PHP, and even if the operator later deletes the plugin, the mu-plugins payload and scheduled tasks re-establish access. …
Remediation Because the risk is an installed backdoor rather than an exploitable code path, patching alone is insufficient: reinstall Fluent Forms Pro only from a verified clean build obtained directly from the vendor per the WPManageNinja incident advisory (https://wpmanageninja.com/security-incident-on-31-july-2026/), then perform incident response on any site that ran 6.2.7. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Conduct asset inventory to identify all WordPress installations running Fluent Forms Pro 6.2.7, immediately deactivate and remove the plugin, run comprehensive malware scans to detect backdoor artifacts, and audit user accounts for unauthorized admin-level access created after plugin installation. …
