CVE-2025-9202 – ColorMag [THEME] – Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Plugin Installation – POC

ColorMag is a widely used WordPress theme known for its magazine-style layouts and robust customization options, currently active on over 50,000 sites. It offers a seamless “import demo content” feature that loads theme demo data and recommended plugins via an AJAX action named import_button. However, a serious security flaw—CVE-2025-9202—has been discovered: the theme exposes the required nonce to Subscriber+ users through wp_localize_script, yet fails to enforce any capability checks. As a result, low-privileged users can invoke the import routine and install arbitrary plugins without proper authorization.

CVE-2025-8085 – Ditty – Unauthenticated SSRF – POC

Ditty is a popular WordPress plugin for creating dynamic content displays—tickers, charts, and news feeds—through a user-friendly block editor interface. With over 50,000 active installations, it’s widely used to embed real-time data and media into pages and posts. However, a critical vulnerability—CVE-2025-8085—has been identified in its REST API: an unauthenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) flaw in the endpoint wp-json/dittyeditor/v1/displayItems. This allows any unauthenticated visitor to coerce the server into fetching arbitrary external or internal URLs, potentially exposing internal network resources or enabling further exploits like remote code execution or data exfiltration.

Plugin Security Certification (PSC-2025-64587): “PHP Compatibility Cheker” – Version 1.6.3: Use Automatic Update WP with Enhanced Security

PHP Compatibility Checker is a WordPress plugin developed by WP Engine that helps site administrators and developers analyze their WordPress themes and plugins for compatibility with modern PHP versions.

As WordPress continues to evolve, maintaining compatibility with supported PHP versions is a crucial factor for both performance and security. Outdated PHP releases no longer receive security updates, leaving websites at risk of vulnerabilities. This plugin empowers users to safely transition to newer PHP versions (up to PHP 8.0) by identifying errors and warnings in their installed codebase.

The tool uses linting technology combined with Tide’s scanning infrastructure to analyze plugin and theme files. It generates detailed reports with file names, line numbers, and descriptions of incompatibilities. Additionally, it recommends plugin or theme updates if newer versions include PHP compatibility fixes.
