WordPress Plugins Compromised Without a Single File Change
Attackers compromised WordPress plugins by poisoning a JSON feed, allowing them to inject backdoors into sites without modifying any actual plugin files on disk. This supply chain attack vector exploited the way plugins consume external data feeds to deliver malicious payloads.
Why it matters: WordPress site operators and plugin developers need to audit JSON feed sources and implement integrity checks immediately, as this attack bypasses traditional file-based detection and could affect thousands of installations.
