CVE-2018-20148
En WordPress, en versiones anteriores a la 4.9.9 y versiones 5.x anteriores a la 5.0.1, los contribuyentes pueden llevar a cabo ataques de inyección de objetos PHP mediante metadatos manipulados en una llamada wp.getMediaItem. Esto viene provocado por la gestión incorrecta de datos serializados en URL phar:// en la función wp_get_attachment_thumb_file en wp-includes/post.php.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 27%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 98
- Fecha de la puntuación: 8/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
- Prueba de concepto en GitHub (no verificada) · Lista de pruebas de concepto en GitHub
⚠️ Las pruebas de concepto de GitHub no están verificadas: algunas son falsas o contienen malware. No las ejecute nunca fuera de un laboratorio aislado.
