  • Sep 18, 2026Save as PDF Plugin by PDFCrowd: Arbitrary Function InvocationCVE-2026-92807 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.8

    The Save as PDF Plugin by PDFCrowd plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Function Invocation in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.1 via the `pdf_created_callback` shortcode attribute. The `eval_shortcode()` function copies any non-`button_`/non-`email_` shortcode attribute verbatim into a custom options array without sanitization, allowlist enforcement, or capability checks, and `create_button()` AES-encrypts that array — including the attacker-supplied callback value — and embeds the resulting blob in the rendered button HTML; when the blob is later POSTed to the unauthenticated `wp_ajax_nopriv_save_as_pdf_pdfcrowd` endpoint, `save_as_pdf_pdfcrowd()` decrypts it and invokes `$options['pdf_created_callback']` as a PHP callable at line 1722 with no `is_callable()` guard, no allowlist, and no capability check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to invoke arbitrary PHP functions or static class methods with plugin option data as the sole argument, enabling disclosure of the site's stored PDFCrowd API key and username or further server-side abuse. Note that the encryption boundary does not mitigate this vector bec

    The Better Messages – Chat Rooms, Group Chat, Private Messages & AI Chat Bots plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.15.33. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to access the full message transcript, thread metadata, and user data of any chat-room thread without authentication. This is only exploitable when the chat room's only_joined_can_read setting retains its default value of '0'.

  • Sep 18, 2026WP Recipe Maker: Arbitrary Shortcode ExecutionCVE-2026-89274 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.1

    The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Shortcode Execution in all versions up to, and including, 10.8.1. The vulnerability exists because `WPRM_Metadata::sanitize_metadata()` recursively calls `do_shortcode()` on every scalar field of the recipe's structured metadata array — including the `reviewBody` field, which is populated verbatim from the `comment_content` of approved `wprm-comment-rating` comments — without sanitizing or stripping shortcode tokens before execution; the subsequent `wp_strip_all_tags()` and `strip_shortcodes()` calls operate only on the output string after execution has already fully occurred, providing no protection against server-side shortcode invocation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary registered WordPress shortcodes server-side on every recipe page render, causing shortcode output — such as attachment captions, private post fields, or other data exposed by installed shortcodes — to be embedded in the page's JSON-LD `reviewBody` metadata and disclosed to all visitors who load the recipe page. Successful exploitation requires the attacker's rated comment to pass the site's comment approv

    The Better Messages – Chat Rooms, Group Chat, Private Messages & AI Chat Bots plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure by Spoofing in all versions up to, and including, 2.15.33. This is due to the `is_ai_bot_user()` function identifying privileged internal AI bot accounts by performing a prefix check for `'ai-chat-bot-'` against a guest record's stored IP address, which is populated verbatim from the client-controlled `X-Real-IP` request header during unauthenticated guest registration. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register a guest identity that the plugin treats as its own internal AI bot, bypassing the per-room role allowlist, draft-status check, and join filters — which are all short-circuited by the bot check in `user_can_join()` and `user_can_read()` — to join administrator-restricted chat rooms, post messages into them, and read the private message history of other users.

    The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.8. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to permanently delete arbitrary WordPress posts — including pages, courses, quizzes, and WooCommerce products — via wp_delete_post( $id, true ). The exploit chain requires the attacker to first trigger the profile-photo upload flow to obtain an authored wp_posts attachment row, then create a Tutor topic reparented to that attachment, before invoking the lesson deletion handler against any target post ID.

  • Sep 18, 2026WP Photo Album Plus: Remote Code ExecutionCVE-2026-87909 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.5

    The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions via the wppa_image_magick function. This is due to insufficient sanitization of the multipart upload filename before concatenation into an ImageMagick command string executed via exec(), with only escapeshellcmd() applied to the whole command rather than quoting individual arguments. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to execute code on the server. escapeshellcmd() escapes shell metacharacters but does not prevent argument injection because spaces remain as argument separators, and the filename sanitization applied at the database layer is never applied to the physical temporary file path used for ImageMagick processing.

  • Sep 18, 2026Divi Essential: Sensitive information exposureCVE-2026-15760 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.5

    The Divi Essential plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information exposure in versions up to, and including, 5.8.1 via the dnxte_get_database_tables and dnxte_get_database_data AJAX actions. The handlers only conditionally verify a nonce (the check runs solely when the 'nonce' POST parameter is present and can be trivially bypassed by omitting the parameter) and never call current_user_can() or otherwise enforce a capability. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to enumerate every table in the WordPress database and read up to a caller-controlled number of rows from any table — including wp_users (usernames, emails, hashed passwords), wp_usermeta (session tokens, secret keys), and wp_options (privileged settings, API keys, credentials stored by other plugins).

    The SEO Booster plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 7.4.7. This is due to a missing capability check on the handle_oauth_callback() function which is hooked to admin_init and processes $_GET['access_token'] and $_GET['google_email'] without verifying the caller's role. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the seobooster_access_token, seobooster_google_email, and seobooster_gsc_sites options and delete the seobooster_needs_reauth flag by visiting a crafted /wp-admin/ URL, disrupting the Google Search Console integration and injecting attacker-chosen data into site options via the attacker-supplied token that drives an outbound Google API request whose response is stored.

    The WP Cloud Plugins Use-your-Drive, Out-of-the-Box, Share-one-Drive, and Lets-Box plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions from 2.0 up to, and including, 3.8.3 via the download_file_to_uploads function. This is due to the import action being registered for unauthenticated users via wp_ajax_nopriv_, a missing capability check in can_import(), and the imported file's extension and contents not being validated against get_allowed_mime_types() before it is written to the uploads directory. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible.

    The Popup Maker – Boost Sales, Conversions, Optins, Subscribers with the Ultimate WP Popup Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via values[Name] Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.24.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The wp_kses sanitization applied on output is insufficient in this context because HTML entities within allowed attribute values survive normalization intact and are later evaluated by the jQuery(link.attr('href')) sink in wp-admin/js/common.js when a contextual help tab anchor is clicked.

    The WP Inventory Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'where' shortcode attribute of the [wpinventory] shortcode in versions up to, and including, 2.5.1. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user-supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the WPIMItem::get_all() function — parse_custom_where() only performs html_entity_decode(), strips semicolons, and does field-label name replacements, without using $wpdb->prepare() or a whitelist. The resulting string is concatenated into a raw SELECT statement that is executed via $wpdb->get_results().

    The Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 11.8.2 via the `wpbc_ajax_option_save` AJAX action. The vulnerability exists because the `handle_ajax_save()` function applies per-option safeguards only to names explicitly registered via `register_option_policy()`, causing `get_option_policy()` to return an empty policy — bypassing all can_save, force_mode, and allowed_keys checks — for any unregistered option name, including core WordPress options, while an attacker-controlled `data_name` parameter passes through `sanitize_key()` and is written directly to `update_option()` without restriction. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Editor-level access and above to escalate their privileges to Administrator by writing core WordPress options such as `default_role=administrator` and `users_can_register=1`, then self-registering a new Administrator account. The nonce check does not meaningfully restrict this attack, as both the nonce value and nonce action are attacker-supplied POST parameters, and a valid nonce is trivially obtainable via `admin-ajax.php?action=rest-nonce`.

  • Sep 18, 2026Filter Gallery: Authorization bypassCVE-2026-89413 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.1

    The Filter Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.4. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to delete any arbitrary Filter Gallery records — including all associated filters, image mappings, settings, and details options — by supplying attacker-controlled gallery IDs. The nonce bypass requires omitting the nonce POST field entirely rather than submitting an invalid value, as a present-but-invalid nonce is correctly rejected.

    The GPTranslate – Multilingual AI Translation Agent for WordPress: Translate Your Site with AI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.34.6 via the enqueue_frontend_scripts. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract the plaintext third-party AI provider API key (OpenAI, DeepL, xAI/Grok, Gemini, Claude, or Google Cloud Translation) — a credential granting billed account access — by fetching any public page and applying the inverse transformation bundled in the plugin's own public JavaScript asset. This exposure affects the default configuration (gpt-3.5-turbo in client mode) and all supported non-DeepSeek providers; only deepseek-* models and gpt-* models configured in server-proxy mode correctly suppress key emission.

This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action.

    The Hide My WP Ghost WordPress plugin before 7.0.11 does not properly validate a loopback security-check request before disabling its login and URL hiding protection, dropping that protection precisely when the request's verification value is missing or incorrect, which any visitor can arrange, allowing unauthenticated attackers to re-expose the concealed WordPress login page location.

  • Sep 18, 2026Magazine Blocks – Blog Designer, Magazine & Newspaper Website Builder, Page Builder with Posts Blocks, Post Grid: Authorization bypassCVE-2026-75017 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.3

    The Magazine Blocks – Blog Designer, Magazine & Newspaper Website Builder, Page Builder with Posts Blocks, Post Grid plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.6. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to demote administrator-owned published builder templates (header, footer, front page, single, archive, 404, and search) to draft status and replace them with attacker-authored block content rendered site-wide, enabling defacement, phishing, and SEO spam. This is possible because the mzb-builder-template post type is registered with capability_type='post' and exposed via the REST API, and the _mzb_template meta key is accessible to any user with edit_posts capability, meaning Contributor-level users and above can trigger the vulnerable save_post() hook.

This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify arbitrary subkeys of the foxtool_settings option, including enabling site-wide SVG uploads by toggling the media-up3 key, which can facilitate stored cross-site scripting via malicious SVG files.

  • Sep 18, 2026InfiniteWP Client: SQL InjectionCVE-2026-17576 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.5

    The InfiniteWP Client plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the get_comments action in versions up to, and including, 1.13.9. This is due to insufficient escaping on the array-key names supplied in the JSON request body before use in a SQL statement: IWP_MMB_Comment::get_comments() calls extract() on $args (which silently skips keys that are not valid PHP variable names) but a second foreach($args as $checkbox => $checkbox_val) processes every key, strips the 'iwp_get_comments_' prefix with str_replace(), wraps the remainder in single quotes, and imploded it into an IN(...) clause that is executed via $wpdb->get_results() with no prepare(). Because the request body is read from php://input and JSON-decoded, wp_magic_quotes() never touches the data, so quote characters in keys pass through unaltered. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above (an administrator can register their own public key via add_site using the plugin's WP-admin-generated activation_key and then issue signed get_comments requests), to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information
