https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-9707

10 Oct 2024 — The Hunk Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized plugin installation/activation due to a missing capability check on the /wp-json/hc/v1/themehunk-import REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install and activate arbitrary plugins which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution if another vulnerable plugin is installed and activated. • https://github.com/RandomRobbieBF/CVE-2024-9707 • CWE-862: Missing Authorization •
