The Timeline Designer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

The Freemius SDK, as used by hundreds of WordPress plugin and theme developers, was vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery and Information disclosure due to missing capability checks and nonce protection on the _get_debug_log, _get_db_option, and the _set_db_option functions in versions up to, and including 2.4.2. Any WordPress plugin or theme running a version of Freemius less than 2.4.3 is vulnerable.

Numerous Plugins and Themes from the AccessPress Themes (aka Access Keys) vendor are backdoored due to their website being compromised. Only plugins and themes downloaded via the vendor website are affected, and those hosted on wordpress.org are not. However, all of them were updated or removed to avoid any confusion
