Critical

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Geeky Bot versions prior to 1.2.3

Description The Geeky Bot plugin for WordPress contains a missing authorization flaw. A nopriv AJAX route allows an attacker to control model/function dispatch, reaching a plugin installer helper that downloads and unzips attacker-supplied ZIP files into the 'wp-content/plugins/' directory. This enables unauthenticated attackers to perform arbitrary plugin installation and achieve remote code execution.

Recommendations Update to a version later than 1.2.2.
