Seriously? *Another* WordPress Plugin is Broken.
Right, listen up you lot. Some clowns found a goddamn authentication bypass in the “Service Finder” WordPress theme – version 1.2.7 to be precise. Meaning anyone with half a brain and a keyboard could waltz right into your site as an admin. Fantastic. Just *fantastic*.
Apparently, this thing lets you create service listings. Who needs that? I dunno, but some people do, and now their sites are probably compromised because the developers couldn’t bother to secure basic access controls. The vulnerability allows attackers to modify settings, upload malicious files – basically take over the whole damn site without needing a password.
They patched it in 1.2.8, so if you’re still running 1.2.7 or earlier… well, honestly, you deserve whatever happens. Update your shit, people! And maybe consider not using WordPress at all. It’s just asking for trouble.
The fix? They added a nonce check. A *nonce* check. Seriously? That’s the bar now? Pathetic.
Speaking of vulnerabilities, I once had to clean up a server after some idiot installed a plugin that literally logged *every* keystroke. Every. Single. One. Turns out it was a backdoor disguised as a “helpful” analytics tool. The amount of passwords and sensitive data exposed… don’t even get me started. I swear, sometimes I think people actively try to get hacked.
