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:

Avada <= 7.11.1 – Authenticated(Contributor+) Server Side Request Forgery
Avada <= 7.11.1 – Authenticated(Author+) Arbitrary File Upload via Zip Extraction
Post Grid <= 2.2.50 – Missing Authorization to Sensitive Information Exposure via REST API
WAF-RULE-627, data redacted while we work with the developer to ensure this gets patched.

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.
