WordPress hacked

  • Hi all,

    I was wondering how do I provide information to the wordpress staff about a possible security issue in wordpress.

    Our site was recently hacked, and it was up to date.

    Cheers

    That is unfortunate, do you know how to replicate the vulnerability?

    I was wondering how do I provide information to the wordpress staff about a possible security issue in wordpress.

    If you can reproduce the problem with proof of concept code then you can report the issue to WordPress following this guide.

    https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/handbook/reporting-security-vulnerabilities/

    However… that’s not what’s happened here. ?? This is the important part from that article.

    If you’re having an issue with your own self-hosted www.ads-software.com site that is not a security issue, then please use the www.ads-software.com support forums.

    Your site was hacked and that happens for a number of reasons. 99.994% of the time (I totally made that number up, it’s probably higher than that) the server or your theme or your add-on plugin was the cause.

    If you need support for your site then please consider starting a support topic via this link.

    I’m sure someone can help you there if you do.
