Technical details

The GWD Connect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to missing authorization in its standalone agent endpoints, gwd-backup.php and gwd-logs.php. This vulnerability exists because these endpoints fail to verify authentication when the API key is in its default, unconfigured state. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a request with the update_agent action, which allows them to write arbitrary PHP code into the agent file. This results in remote code execution, although the attack is limited to unregistered installations in specific environments where these standalone files are accessible.
