Chimpstudio — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 16

Chimpstudio develops WordPress themes and plugins for website building, with 15 CVEs recorded primarily involving remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and privilege escalation vulnerabilities. Historically, their products have shown weaknesses in input validation, insufficient access controls, and insecure deserialization, often leading to complete system compromise.
