CVE, Research URL: CVE-2019-9669
Home page URL: Security reports for Wordfence Security – Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security
Application: Wordfence Security – Firewall, Malware Scan, and Login Security
Published on: Apr 26, 2019
Research Description: The Wordfence plugin 7.2.3 for WordPress allows XSS via a unique attack vector. NOTE: It has been asserted that this is not a valid vulnerability in the context of the Wordfence WordPress plugin as the firewall rules are not maintained as part of the Wordfence software but rather it is a set of rules hosted on vendor servers and pushed to the plugin with no versioning associated. Bypassing a WAF rule doesn't make a WordPress site vulnerable (speaking in terms of software vulnerabilities)
Affected versions: max 7.2.3.
Status: vulnerable
