Technical summary

The InfiniteWP Client WordPress plugin before 1.13.6 is vulnerable to remote code execution due to improper verification of site-connection state and request authenticity on WordPress Multisite installations. This allows unauthenticated attackers to bind their own key, hijack an administrator session, and take over the entire network. The vulnerability has a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Defensive priority

High priority due to potential for remote code execution

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify the InfiniteWP Client plugin version and update to 1.13.6 or later.
• Review site-connection state and request authenticity on WordPress Multisite installations.
• Implement compensating controls to monitor and restrict remote-management endpoint access.
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up.
• Review the supplied official advisory or CVE record to validate affected scope, severity, and vendor guidance.
• Plan vendor-supported updates or mitigations through normal change control where exposure is confirmed.
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review.

Evidence notes

The evidence for this CVE is limited. Verification of vulnerability details and affected scope is needed. The InfiniteWP Client WordPress plugin before 1.13.6 does not properly verify the site-connection state and the authenticity of requests to its remote-management endpoint on WordPress Multisite installations. Defenders should verify the plugin version, review site-connection state and request authenticity, and implement compensating controls to monitor and restrict remote-management endpoint access.
