Last modified
CVE-2024-9707 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Hunk Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized plugin installation/activation due to a missing capability check on the /wp-json/hc/v1/themehunk-import REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.4.
