In case you missed it, Wordfence just published its annual WordPress security report for 2024. Read it now to learn more about the evolving risk landscape of WordPress so you can keep your sites protected in 2025 and beyond.
Last week, there were 222 vulnerabilities disclosed in 202 WordPress Plugins and 2 WordPress Themes that have been added to the Wordfence Intelligence Vulnerability Database, and there were 66 Vulnerability Researchers that contributed to WordPress Security last week. Review those vulnerabilities in this report now to ensure your site is not affected.
Our mission with Wordfence Intelligence is to make valuable vulnerability information easily accessible to everyone, like the WordPress community, so individuals and organizations alike can utilize that data to implement layered security, aligning with our overarching mission to secure WordPress with defense in depth strategies. That is why the Wordfence Intelligence user interface, vulnerability API, webhook integration, and Wordfence CLI Vulnerability Scanner are all completely free to access and utilize both personally and commercially, and why we are running this weekly vulnerability report. As the world’s leading quality vulnerability database provider for WordPress, site owners can rest assured knowing Wordfence has their back.
Enterprises, Hosting Providers, and even Individuals can use the Wordfence CLI Vulnerability Scanner to run regular vulnerability scans across the sites they protect. Or alternatively, utilize the vulnerability Database API to receive a complete dump of our database of over 26,000 vulnerabilities and then utilize the webhook integration to stay on top of the newest vulnerabilities added in real-time, as well as any updates made to the database, all for free.

New Firewall Rules Deployed Last Week
The Wordfence Threat Intelligence Team reviews each vulnerability to determine impact and severity, along with assessing the likelihood of exploitation, to verify that the Wordfence Firewall provides sufficient protection.
The team rolled out enhanced protection via firewall rules for the following vulnerabilities in real-time to our Premium, Care, and Response customers last week:
- TheGem <= 5.10.3 – Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Upload
- WAF-RULE-827 – Data redacted while we work with the vendor on a patch.
- WAF-RULE-829 – Data redacted while we work with the vendor on a patch.
- WAF-RULE-830 – Data redacted while we work with the vendor on a patch.
- WAF-RULE-831 – Data redacted while we work with the vendor on a patch.
Wordfence Premium, Care, and Response customers received this protection immediately, while users still running the free version of Wordfence will receive this enhanced protection after a 30 day delay.
