CVE-2022-3883 affects the Block Bad Bots and Stop Bad Bots Crawlers and Spiders and Anti Spam Protection WordPress plugin prior to version 7.24. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.5) stems from improper authorization and CSRF in an AJAX action, allowing any authenticated user, even a subscriber, to install and activate arbitrary plugins from wordpress.org. While the attack complexity is low and user interaction is not required, the potential impact is high integrity, enabling unauthorized plugin installations. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, no public exploit code available, and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
