What the vulnerability does
The Allow PHP Execute plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Code Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to allowing PHP code to be entered by all users for whom unfiltered HTML is allowed. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to inject PHP code into posts and pages.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
Allow PHP Execute versions 1.0 and earlier contain a code injection vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary PHP code on the site. An attacker with high-level administrative privileges can inject and run malicious code through the plugin, potentially compromising the entire site. No user interaction is required once an attacker gains admin access.
What an attacker can do
Run arbitrary PHP code on the site with full server privileges.
Potential impact on your site
A compromised admin account can execute any code, leading to complete site takeover, data theft, or malware installation.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have high-level administrative access to the site.
