See how motors compares to other vendors in security performance
The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation when deleting profile pictures in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.89. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php).
The Motors theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 5.6.67. This is due to the theme not properly validating a user's identity prior to updating their password. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change arbitrary user passwords, including those of administrators, and leverage that to gain access to their account.
The The Motors - Car Dealer, Rental & Listing WordPress theme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.6.65. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running doshortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. It is unclear exactly which version the issue was patched in from the changelog. Therefore, we used the latest version at the time of verification.
The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Phone Number parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.63 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on several functions in the ajaxactions.php file in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.66. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to execute several initial set-up actions.
The Motors – Car Dealership & Classified Listings Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary plugin installations due to a missing capability check in the mvlsetupwizardinstallplugin() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.64. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install and activate arbitrary plugins on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
The Motors – Car Dealer, Classifieds & Listing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability checks on the motorscreatetemplate and motorsdeletetemplate functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.57.

This issue requires Elementor plugin to be installed, which is a required plugin for Motors Starter Theme.
The The Motors – Car Dealer, Classifieds & Listing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.43.
