The issue, according to bulletin number 51380912/24, concerns versions up to 2.17.1 of the “WP Umbrella” plugin, a tool used by individuals who manage multiple websites in a unified manner under the WordPress platform.
According to information about this issue, the fixed vulnerability allowed an attacker to control all the websites in use. As a result, the Directorate General of Information Systems Security stressed the need for immediate updates to digital versions to prevent this vulnerability from being exploited and gaining full control of all websites.
