Users of the wellknown WordPress plugin Gravity Forms were at danger of malware and remote code execution RCE after it was compromised in a supply chain attack. The malicious versions 2.9.11.1 and 2.9.12 were momentarily accessible through manual downloads from the developers website, RocketGenius, on July 10–11, according to security firm PatchStack. The hijacked files generated hidden admin accounts for complete control, restricted changes, and collected site metadata. The automatic update of the Gravity API service was not impacted.

This incident emphasises the need to periodically do security audits, use automated upgrades, and check sources in order to mitigate the increasing dangers to WordPress plugin ecosystem. Read More..

To keep safe, users should avoid dealing with dubious verification screens, doublecheck URLs, and turn on antivirus and browser protections. Read More..
