Missing Authorization
CVE CVE-2020-10257
CVSS 9.8 (Critical)
Publicly Published March 9, 2020
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Researcher Chloe Chamberland - Wordfence

Description

The ThemeREX Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Improper Access Control in various versions. This is due to the /trx_addons/v2/get/sc_layout REST API endpoint, allowing for PHP functions to be executed by any users, because includes/plugin.rest-api.php calls trx_addons_rest_get_sc_layout with an unsafe sc parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute functions like wp_insert_user, allowing attackers the ability to inject administrative user accounts and take over sites. See https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2020/03/zero-day-vulnerability-in-themerex-addons-now-patched/ for accurate version information.

Wordfence blocked 383 attacks targeting this vulnerability in the past 24 hours.
