    The Welcart e-Commerce WordPress plugin before 2.11.33 does not verify the authenticity of its convenience-store / bank-transfer settlement callback: an unauthenticated request can flip an order from unpaid to settled purely from an order number and a status flag, with no signature, amount, or origin check. Because these are pay-later methods, an attacker can mark their own unpaid order as settled and obtain fulfilment without paying.

    The RSS Aggregator by Feedzy WordPress plugin before 5.2.6 does not verify that the requesting user owns or is allowed to edit the import job named in the request, allowing users with author-level access and above to permanently delete the posts created by another user's import job, reset its deduplication and scheduling state, disable it, or clear its error log.

Where this comes from: the exploited list is CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Everything else is the whole National Vulnerability Database, where each record is published by the team that found the bug (Wordfence, Patchstack, WPScan, the vendors themselves and others); we show who. Exploit odds are FIRST’s EPSS, updated daily. Titles and categories are ours, so check the linked record before acting on a detail. For a write-up of the big ones, see our advisories. Every vendor, and every WordPress plugin and theme with a recorded flaw, also has its own page. All of it is free to reuse as JSON, CSV or RSS.
