Subscriber-level code execution via unrestricted function dispatch
Published Nov 8, 2025 · Updated Nov 8, 2025
Code injection in Better Find and Replace WordPress plugin 1.7.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code through AJAX requests. The rtafar_ajax handler parses an attacker-controlled selector into class and method names, then dispatches the request without a strict allowlist of callable plugin functions. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and execution is limited to privileged plugin operations reachable through the dispatcher.
