Last updated: 08 Mar 2025, 23:25 UTC
This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with instawp. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total instawp CVEs: 13
Earliest CVE date: 06 Sep 2022, 18:15 UTC
Latest CVE date: 21 Jan 2025, 09:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2024-10936
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 9
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): -100.0%
Year Variation (Calendar): 200.0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): -100.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): 200.0%
Average CVSS: 0.0
Max CVSS: 0

These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for instawp, sorted by severity first and recency.
The String locator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.6 via deserialization of untrusted input in the 'recursive_unserialize_replace' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it could allow the attacker to delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code. An administrator must perform a search and replace action to trigger the exploit.
The String locator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'sql-column' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This required WP_DEBUG to be enabled in order to be exploited.
The InstaWP Connect – 1-click WP Staging & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.0.44. This is due to insufficient verification of the API key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they have access to the username, and to perform a variety of other administrative tasks. NOTE: This vulnerability was partially fixed in 0.1.0.44, but was still exploitable via Cross-Site Request Forgery.
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in InstaWP Team InstaWP Connect allows Code Injection.This issue affects InstaWP Connect: from n/a through 0.1.0.38.
The InstaWP Connect – 1-click WP Staging & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary option updates due to a missing authorization checks on the REST API calls in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.0.38. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to connect the site to InstaWP API, edit arbitrary site options and create administrator accounts.
Missing Authorization vulnerability in InstaWP Team InstaWP Connect.This issue affects InstaWP Connect: from n/a through 0.1.0.24.
Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in InstaWP Team InstaWP Connect allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects InstaWP Connect: from n/a through 0.1.0.8.
The InstaWP Connect – 1-click WP Staging & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to insufficient file validation in the /wp-json/instawp-connect/v1/config REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 0.1.0.22. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files.
Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in InstaWP Team InstaWP Connect allows Code Injection.This issue affects InstaWP Connect: from n/a through 0.1.0.8.
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') vulnerability in InstaWP Team InstaWP Connect – 1-click WP Staging & Migration.This issue affects InstaWP Connect – 1-click WP Staging & Migration: from n/a through 0.1.0.9.
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in InstaWP Team InstaWP Connect – 1-click WP Staging & Migration.This issue affects InstaWP Connect – 1-click WP Staging & Migration: from n/a through 0.1.0.9.
The InstaWP Connect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data, modification of data and loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'events_receiver' function in versions up to, and including, 0.0.9.18. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to add, modify or delete post and taxonomy, install, activate or deactivate plugin, change customizer settings, add or modify or delete user including administrator user.
The String Locator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted input via the 'string-locator-path' parameter in versions up to, and including 2.5.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated users to call files using a PHAR wrapper, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link, that will deserialize and call arbitrary PHP Objects that can be used to perform a variety of malicious actions granted a POP chain is also present. It also requires that the attacker is successful in uploading a file with the serialized payload.
