Exploiting CVEs

In November 2024, a critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-10924, was discovered in the Really Simple Security plugin for WordPress, affecting versions 9.0.0 to 9.1.1.1. With a CVSS score of 9.8, this authentication bypass flaw poses a severe risk to WordPress sites, potentially allowing attackers to gain unauthorized administrative access.

Langflow (before version 1.3.0) had a feature that allowed people to submit Python code snippets so the server could “check” them. Unfortunately, the way this was built meant the server wasn’t just checking the code, it was actually running pieces of it. That’s CVE-2025-3248, a critical unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability with a CVSS of 9.8.

CVE-2023-50164, disclosed in 2023, is a critical path traversal vulnerability in Apache Struts, an open-source framework for building Java web applications using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture.

CVE-2025-49113 is a Post-Authentication Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in Roundcube Webmail, one of the most widely used open-source webmail clients written in PHP. The vulnerability arises due to unsafe PHP object deserialization, allowing an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server.

CVE-2021-29447 is an Authenticated XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability exploitable in WordPress versions 5.6 to 5.7.1. The issue affects the Media Library, which allows authenticated users (like contributors or authors) to upload media files.

CVE-2024-45195 is a critical vulnerability in Apache OFBiz, a widely used open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with a CVSS score of 7.5 by NVD. The flaw enables unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) due to an insecure use of Java's scripting engine within the web application's request handling logic. This exploit bypasses previously issued patches (CVE‑2024‑32113, ‑36104, ‑38856)

Vercel disclosed a critical vulnerability, CVE-2025-29927 affecting the middleware system in Next.js, a popular React-based web development framework. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass middleware-based authorization checks and access protected routes by abusing an internal header. CVSS Score: 9.1 (Critical)
