AI-suggested

Until an official fix or update is provided by WPManageNinja, affected users should consider removing the compromised plugin version 5.2.11 and thoroughly auditing their WordPress installations for the presence of rogue PHP files, unauthorized administrator accounts, and scheduled tasks. Monitoring for unusual REST API activity and restoring from clean backups may be necessary.

Description

Ninja Tables Pro 5.2.11 contains an embedded malicious code vulnerability introduced via a tampered plugin build served through a decommissioned update server. The tampered build introduced a rogue PHP file (app/Library/updater/NinjaTableDataSync.php) that established a backdoor REST API endpoint, dropped persistent PHP files in mu-plugins and uploads directories, installed a passwordless administrator account, and registered scheduled tasks that survived plugin removal.
