New Firewall Rules Deployed Last Week
The Wordfence Threat Intelligence Team reviews each vulnerability to determine impact and severity, along with assessing the likelihood of exploitation, to verify that the Wordfence Firewall provides sufficient protection.
The team rolled out enhanced protection via firewall rules for the following vulnerabilities in real-time to our Premium, Care, and Response customers last week:
- InstaWP Connect – 1-click WP Staging & Migration <= 0.1.0.44 – Authentication Bypass to Admin
- FULL <= 3.1.12 – Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting via License Plan Parameter
- ProfileGrid – User Profiles, Groups and Communities <= 5.8.9 – Authenticated (Subscriber+) Authorization Bypass to Privilege Escalation
Wordfence Premium, Care, and Response customers received this protection immediately, while users still running the free version of Wordfence will receive this enhanced protection after a 30 day delay.
