Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-4153 affects the WordPress zM Ajax Login & Register plugin before 1.1.0. A remote attacker could abuse a template path parameter to make the site include and run PHP files. For a WordPress site still using this old plugin version, this is a serious website compromise risk. Exposure is limited to WordPress installations running zM Ajax Login & Register before 1.1.0. Internet-facing WordPress sites are the primary concern, especially if the plugin remains enabled and the AJAX action is reachable. Prioritize remediation for any live WordPress site still using this plugin below 1.1.0. The issue is old, but public exploit references and potential PHP execution make lingering exposure unacceptable for production sites. Mitigation focus: Upgrade zM Ajax Login & Register to version 1.1.0 or later.; Disable or remove the plugin if an upgrade is not available.; Review vendor changelog and WordPress plugin guidance for current status..
