While the healthcare sector gets a "B+" security rating for the first half of 2024, it faces a critical vulnerability: supply chain cyber risk, according to SecurityScorecard. The US healthcare industry's security ratings were better than expected, with an average score of 88.
A threat actor modified the source code of at least five plugins hosted on WordPress.org to include malicious PHP scripts that create new accounts with administrative privileges on websites running them. Although it is possible that the attack impacts a larger number of WordPress plugins, current evidence suggests that the compromise is limited to the aforementioned set of five.
