Until an official fix is released, restrict user roles to trusted users only and avoid granting Subscriber or higher privileges to untrusted accounts. Monitor for updates from the PostX plugin vendor and apply patches promptly once available.

Description

The Post Grid Gutenberg Blocks and WordPress Blog Plugin – PostX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized plugin installation/activation due to a missing capability check on the 'install_required_plugin_callback' function in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.16. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install and activate arbitrary plugins which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution if another vulnerable plugin is installed and activated.
