Users can embed images, video and audio in their posts, or use… [ad_2] More Info

[ad_1] Our team recently stumbled across an interesting example of malicious code used to add an arbitrary user inside WordPress. The following code was detected at the bottom of the theme’s functions.php. It uses internal WordPress functions like wp_create_user() and add_role() to create a new user and elevate its role to “administrator:” The most interesting component of this sample is that the init (initialization) hook called from add_action() triggers the prefix_add_user() every time the Website finishes loading. This means that even though the victim may try to remove the malicious… [ad_2] More Info

The new version focuses on a design system, a new theme builder, and performance improvements. The driving motivation behind this release was to create global design tools, which is a shift from the plugin’s roots as a mere page builder. One of my biggest complaints about builder plugins is that they have often approached design on the individual page level first. However, web design is not about how you can fancy… [ad_2] More Info
