CVE-2024-56050: WordPress WPLMS plugin < 1.9.9.5.3 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary File Upload vulnerability

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.69% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 52.8% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: VibeThemes WPLMS 1.9.9.5.3.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to VibeThemes WPLMS 1.9.9.5.3 or later.
