Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of the ACPT (Pro) - Custom Post Types Plugin for WordPress, provided the plugin is installed and activated at version 2.0.47 or earlier on a network-reachable WordPress site. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | All available signals point to high real-world risk: CVSS 3.1 is the maximum 10.0 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N (remote, low complexity, no authentication, no user interaction) and a scope change (S:C) with complete C/I/A impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker enumerates WordPress sites running ACPT Pro (via readme.txt fingerprinting or wp-content/plugins/ path probes), then sends a crafted HTTP request to a vulnerable ACPT endpoint containing PHP code or a remote/local file path that the plugin includes or evaluates. Because no authentication or user interaction is required and complexity is low, the request yields immediate PHP execution under the webserver user, enabling webshell deployment, credential theft from wp-config.php, and pivoting to the database. … |
| Remediation | Upstream fix availability is not independently confirmed in the supplied data - the Patchstack advisory documents the vulnerability through 2.0.47 but no fixed version is named, so administrators should consult the Patchstack entry (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/advanced-custom-post-type/vulnerability/wordpress-acpt-pro-custom-post-types-plugin-for-wordpress-plugin-2-0-47-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability) and the ACPT vendor portal for a release newer than 2.0.47 and upgrade immediately once available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
