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:

• WAF-RULE-862 – Data redacted while we work with the vendor on a patch.
• WAF-RULE-863 – Data redacted while we work with the vendor on a patch.
