On August 18, 2023, the Wordfence Threat Intelligence team initiated the responsible disclosure process for two PHP Object Injection vulnerabilities in the Essential Blocks plugin for WordPress, a plugin with over 100,000 installations.
A response was received from the developers three days later and sent over their full disclosure on August 23, 2023. A patched version of the free plugin, 4.2.1, was released on August 29, 2023 with version 1.1.1 for the Pro version released the same day.
We issued a firewall rule to protect all WordFence users by September 17, 2023. We recommend that all Wordfence users update to the patched version, 4.2.1 (1.1.1 for Pro), as soon as possible as this will entirely eliminate the vulnerabilities.
