Unauthenticated code execution via unrestricted function callback
Published Oct 18, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Code injection in Time Clock 1.2.2 and earlier and Time Clock Pro 1.1.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute server-side code. The etimeclockwp_load_function_callback handler dispatches an unauthenticated request to a named function without restricting which callable can run; requesters cannot supply its arguments. Exploitation is limited to no-argument functions already callable in the WordPress PHP process, bounding but not eliminating code-execution impact.
