wpcalc — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 8

WPCalc serves as a WordPress calculator plugin enabling mathematical calculations on websites. Historically, it has been susceptible to multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities, cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws, and privilege escalation issues. These vulnerabilities often stem from insufficient input validation and improper permission checks. The plugin's seven recorded CVEs highlight consistent security weaknesses, with some instances allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code or compromise user accounts. While no major public incidents have been widely documented, the pattern of vulnerabilities suggests potential for significant exploitation if left unpatched. Regular updates and careful implementation remain critical for maintaining security when using this plugin.
