    The Stripe Payment Forms by WP Full Pay WordPress plugin before 8.5.2 does not verify that the caller owns the Stripe payment intent referenced by two unauthenticated payment-form AJAX actions, allowing an unauthenticated visitor — using a nonce that is embedded in every public page containing a payment form — to change the amount of a payment intent that the Stripe Payment Forms by WP Full Pay WordPress plugin before 8.5.2 then updates server-side through the Stripe API with the store's secret key.

    The WPMU DEV Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.0. On sites not yet connected to the WPMU DEV Hub — the default state after installation — the site API key that keys the WDP-AUTH request signature is empty, making the signature verified by validate_hash() trivially forgeable; version 5.0.0 additionally removed the replay check in validate_nonce(), and the remote handler is bound to the public init hook with no capability check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke privileged Hub actions — including installing and activating a plugin from an attacker-supplied URL (resulting in remote code execution), deleting plugins and themes, upgrading WordPress core, or logging in as an administrator via SSO. Sites connected to a WPMU DEV account, which have a non-empty 64-character API key, are not affected.

  • Aug 6, 2026Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-18325 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Forminator Forms – Contact Form, Payment Form & Custom Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Forged Upload Record via Select Field in all versions up to, and including, 1.56.1 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 exploit is possible because Forminator_Core::sanitize_array() skips all filtering for keys prefixed with 'select-', and set_field_data() treats a submitted 'return' member as a trusted internal flag — allowing an unauthenticated attacker to forge and persist a complete upload field record with an arbitrary file_url value without any sanitization or validation.

    The FluentSMTP – WP SMTP Plugin with Amazon SES, SendGrid, MailGun, Postmark, Google and Any SMTP Provider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Recipient Display Name (to.name) in Email Logs in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.95 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 payload is delivered via an attacker-controlled recipient display name (to.name) in a wp_mail() call and does not fire in the log list view — only in the detail view when an administrator uses the Prev/Next navigation controls, as that path bypasses the escapeHtml pipeline used by the list view.

  • Aug 6, 2026File Manager: Arbitrary file deletionCVE-2026-15991 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.8

    The File Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the connector function in all versions from 6.0 - 6.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to read and delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). The bypass is triggered by passing cmd=rm or cmf=file in the URL query string of a POST request: elFinder's bind registration reads the command exclusively from $_POST and therefore never registers the rm.pre permission handler, while the dispatcher reads from the merged $_GET+$_POST superglobal and executes the rm or file command unchecked against a volume that defaults to ABSPATH.

    The wiseCampaign – WooCommerce Conversions Made Easy plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and disclosure of data due to every one of its REST API endpoints being registered with `permission_callback => '__return_true'` in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.16. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read and modify the plugin's banner, stockbar, and core settings — including saving/updating banner records, toggling stockbar/feature flags, changing the active banner, and uploading background-image files via wp_handle_upload() — without any nonce or capability check.

    The Udimi Tools plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `ajax_disconnect()` function in all versions up to, and including, 3.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete the plugin's six configuration options — including the API key, connected Udimi user email, and tracking-script payload — effectively disconnecting the site from the configured Udimi account. The companion `ajax_connect()` handler is missing the same checks, allowing the same low-privilege attackers to overwrite those options with an attacker-supplied API key.

  • Aug 5, 2026Independent Analytics: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-17506 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Independent Analytics plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 404 not_found_url tracking parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.15.0. This is due to the get_cell_content() function applying urldecode() after esc_url() when rendering the URL column for 404 entries — a sequence that allows percent-encoded HTML to pass URL validation and then be reconstructed as raw markup, which wp_kses_post() does not strip because it retains img elements and data-* attributes, and because the public REST endpoint /iawp/search accepts unauthenticated requests as long as they carry a signature that is itself embedded in public page HTML. 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 Content Egg – Affiliate Product Importer & Price Comparison plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Deletion via Path Traversal in versions up to and including 11.3.0. This is due to insufficient validation of the 'img_file' field within the cegg_data post metadata: the value passes only through wp_strip_all_tags() (which does not strip path traversal sequences), is stored directly in post meta, and is later concatenated without normalization into a filesystem path in getFullImgPath() before being passed to PHP's unlink(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

    The Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed – Easy Social Feeds Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via REQUEST_URI Query String in all versions up to, and including, 6.11.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

    The Layouts for WPBakery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized actions due to a missing capability check on the `Layouts_WPB_Remote::template_sync()` callback registered via `wp_ajax_nopriv_handle_sync` in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.3. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to force the WordPress server to issue outbound HTTP requests to the plugin vendor's external API (`https://www.layoutsforwpbakery.com/wp-json/layoutsforwpbakery/v1/{templates,categories}`) and to write the JSON-decoded responses verbatim into the site's `wp_options` table via `set_transient()` — at any rate the attacker chooses, with no nonce verification, capability check, or rate limiting.

  • Aug 5, 2026Backup Migration: OS Command InjectionCVE-2026-7693 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Backup Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to OS Command Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.5.1 due to insufficient sanitization of the `file` POST parameter on the `restoreBackup()` AJAX handler. The handler applies `esc_attr()` — an HTML-context sanitizer that does not strip shell metacharacters — and concatenates the result, unquoted, into a `php-cli -f … bmi_restore <file> <remote>` command passed to `exec()`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access (or any user granted the plugin's `do_backups` capability) and above, to execute arbitrary OS commands as the web-server user, bypassing WordPress hardening constants such as `DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT` and `DISALLOW_FILE_MODS` that would otherwise prevent code execution from the admin UI. This is an incomplete fix of CVE-2023-7002, which patched the same pattern only in the `$_POST['url']` path of `handleQuickMigration()`; the equivalent mitigations (`rawurlencode()` + explicit shell-metachar replacement + double-quoting in `exec()`) were never applied to `$backupName`.

    The MailChimp Forms by MailMunch plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the `sign_in()` and `sign_up()` AJAX handlers in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to relink the site's MailMunch integration to an attacker-controlled MailMunch account by submitting attacker-supplied credentials. Once relinked, all subscriber data captured by the plugin's forms is delivered to the attacker, and the forms/landing pages rendered on the site are pulled from the attacker's MailMunch account.

  • Aug 5, 2026Search Analytics for WP: Cross-Site Request ForgeryCVE-2026-7444 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.1

    The Search Analytics for WP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.16. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the `process_bulk_action()` function of `MWTSA_Stats_Table`. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary search-term records, including all associated search-history rows, via a forged request granted they can trick a user with access to the plugin's "Search Analytics" dashboard page (Administrator by default) into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

    The Xpro Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized creation of data due to a missing capability check on the `get_menu_content_editor()` function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create arbitrary published posts of the `xpro_content` custom post type with attacker-controlled titles. The created posts are publicly queryable on the front-end, enabling content injection, SEO spam, and database pollution.

    The SKT Skill Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `chart_size` attribute of the `skillwrapper` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.6. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the `chart_size` attribute, which is concatenated directly into an inline `<style>` block.

  • Aug 5, 2026AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU: Sensitive Information ExposureCVE-2026-6639 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.5

    The AI Chatbot & Workflow Automation by AIWU plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.6. This is due to the `getCurrentTaskResults()` method in `modules/workspace/controller.php` being accessible without authentication or authorization checks. The method is not included in the workspace controller's `getNoncedMethods()` array, the base `getPermissions()` returns an empty array, and all AJAX actions are registered with `wp_ajax_nopriv_` hooks (`classes/frame.php:282`). When tasks are created via features like the Bulk Post Generator, the task parameters — including the OpenAI API key in plaintext, AI prompts, keywords, and full AI model configuration — are stored in the database and returned in the JSON response. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate sequential task IDs and retrieve sensitive configuration data including API keys.

  • Aug 5, 2026WPFormify – Stripe Payments with Form and Checkout: Unauthorized modification and deletion of Stripe payment credentialsCVE-2026-6627 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.2

    The WPFormify – Stripe Payments with Form and Checkout plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and deletion of Stripe payment credentials in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1. This is due to missing capability checks and nonce verification on the `wpf_stripe_callback_success()` and `wpf_stripe_disconnect()` functions, both hooked to `admin_init`. The `admin_init` hook fires on `admin-post.php` which is accessible without authentication. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the site's Stripe API credentials with attacker-controlled values (redirecting payments to the attacker's Stripe account) or disconnect the Stripe integration entirely by deleting the stored credentials.

    The ShopLentor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary function execution via the woolentoropt/v1/custom-action REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.7. This is due to the handle_action() method passing user-supplied input directly to call_user_func() without an allowlist of permitted callbacks.

  • Aug 5, 2026Askeet: SQL InjectionCVE-2026-5651 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.9

    The Askeet plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'sql_query' parameter in multiple AJAX actions (askeet_execute_sql_query, askeet_export_all_results) in all versions up to, and including, 3.0. This is due to the askeet_is_safe_query() filter being bypassable using MySQL conditional comments (e.g., /*!UNION*/). The filter strips regular block comments before checking for forbidden SQL keywords, but MySQL interprets conditional comments as executable code. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

    The Multi Uploader for Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized arbitrary media deletion in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.8. This is due to missing capability checks in the `plupload_ajax_delete_file()` function, which is registered via `wp_ajax_nopriv_gfmu_delete_file`. The nonce intended for CSRF protection is exposed on any public-facing page containing a multi-uploader form field via the `GFMU_options` JavaScript object. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete any WordPress media attachment by supplying its attachment ID, potentially leading to complete media library destruction.
