Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2024-03-25 19:15 - Updated: 2025-12-05 19:41
Severity ?
Summary
WP Crontrol controls the cron events on WordPress websites. WP Crontrol includes a feature that allows administrative users to create events in the WP-Cron system that store and execute PHP code subject to the restrictive security permissions documented here. While there is no known vulnerability in this feature on its own, there exists potential for this feature to be vulnerable to RCE if it were specifically targeted via vulnerability chaining that exploited a separate SQLi (or similar) vulnerability. This is exploitable on a site if one of the below preconditions are met, the site is vulnerable to a writeable SQLi vulnerability in any plugin, theme, or WordPress core, the site's database is compromised at the hosting level, the site is vulnerable to a method of updating arbitrary options in the wp_options table, or the site is vulnerable to a method of triggering an arbitrary action, filter, or function with control of the parameters. As a hardening measure, WP Crontrol version 1.16.2 ships with a new feature that prevents tampering of the code stored in a PHP cron event.

"value": "WP Crontrol controla los eventos cron en los sitios web de WordPress. WP Crontrol incluye una funci\u00f3n que permite a los usuarios administrativos crear eventos en el sistema WP-Cron que almacenan y ejecutan c\u00f3digo PHP sujeto a los permisos de seguridad restrictivos documentados aqu\u00ed. Si bien no existe una vulnerabilidad conocida en esta caracter\u00edstica por s\u00ed sola, existe la posibilidad de que esta caracter\u00edstica sea vulnerable a RCE si fuera atacada espec\u00edficamente a trav\u00e9s de un encadenamiento de vulnerabilidades que explotara una vulnerabilidad SQLi (o similar) separada. Esto es explotable en un sitio si se cumple una de las siguientes condiciones previas, el sitio es vulnerable a una vulnerabilidad SQLi grabable en cualquier complemento, tema o n\u00facleo de WordPress, la base de datos del sitio est\u00e1 comprometida a nivel de alojamiento, el sitio es vulnerable a un m\u00e9todo para actualizar opciones arbitrarias en la tabla wp_options, o el sitio es vulnerable a un m\u00e9todo para activar una acci\u00f3n, filtro o funci\u00f3n arbitraria con control de los par\u00e1metros. Como medida de refuerzo, la versi\u00f3n 1.16.2 de WP Crontrol viene con una nueva caracter\u00edstica que evita la manipulaci\u00f3n del c\u00f3digo almacenado en un evento cron de PHP."
