Title: Security issue – Capabilities Last modified: December 10, 2021 --- # Security issue – Capabilities * [santacorp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santacorp/) * (@santacorp) * [4 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issue-capabilities/) * Hello, yesterday I had a security breach on my website [https://lesmysteresdenoel.com/](https://lesmysteresdenoel.com/). There was a redirect hack that referred users to malicious links. It seems that this has been linked to the Capabilities PublishPress plugin which was breached in version 2.3.0. I was able to learn this via this topic [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-security-issue-2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-security-issue-2/) which had the same problem as me: new user named wpuser_randomsuitofletters. * The problem was solved yesterday with a restoration of the web space via OVH 3 days before. Today the site has been compromised again, the website is displayed abnormally and I cannot access the back office. The login page has changed and reads “the site is unreachable” this will relate to ch.trainresistor.cc. We also did a restoration of the site a week before which did not change anything. * Does anyone have any idea how to fix my problem, this is an advent calendar website where a multitude of users visit every day. * Thanks in advance * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fsecurity-issue-capabilities%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ The topic ‘Security issue – Capabilities’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [capabilities](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/capabilities/) * [security breach](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/security-breach/) * 0 replies * 1 participant * Last reply from: [santacorp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/santacorp/) * Last activity: [4 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/security-issue-capabilities/) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
