Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2021-25094 affects the Tatsu WordPress plugin before 3.3.12. An unauthenticated attacker could upload a crafted zip that briefly places executable PHP under WordPress uploads, enabling remote code execution. For a public WordPress site using Tatsu, this can mean site takeover. Exposure is most likely on internet-facing WordPress sites with Tatsu installed below version 3.3.12. The bundle does not identify specific themes, hosting providers, or default install prevalence. Treat this as urgent for any public WordPress property using Tatsu. Unauthenticated remote code execution can quickly become website compromise, data exposure, malware hosting, or customer-facing defacement. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Tatsu to 3.3.12 or later where vendor guidance confirms the fix.; Disable or remove Tatsu until the site is confirmed patched.; Review WordPress uploads for unexpected executable PHP files..
