  • Sep 9, 2026Checkout Custom Fields Builder for WooCommerce: Authorization bypassCVE-2026-19802 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.3

    The Checkout Custom Fields Builder for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.5. 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 install and activate an arbitrary attacker-hosted plugin, resulting in remote code execution on the server. The required nonce is emitted inline on all admin pages accessible to subscribers when WooCommerce is inactive, meaning any subscriber-level user can harvest it and trigger the exploit without any additional privileges.

  • Sep 9, 2026Ninja Forms – The Contact Form Builder That Grows With You: PHP Object InjectionCVE-2026-11363 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.6

    The Ninja Forms – The Contact Form Builder That Grows With You plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 3.14.6 via deserialization of untrusted input . This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present. The deserialization is triggered automatically during form import when WPN_Helper::build_nf_cache() invokes $action->get_settings() immediately after the crafted form is imported, requiring no further interaction beyond the import action itself.

  • Sep 8, 2026FireBox – WooCommerce Popup Builder, Exit Intent Popup, Email Optin & Cart Abandonment: Remote Code ExecutionCVE-2026-76801 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.8

    The FireBox – WooCommerce Popup Builder, Exit Intent Popup, Email Optin & Cart Abandonment plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.10 via the value function. This is due to a trivially bypassable regex blacklist in Executer::allowedToRun() that fails to block WordPress core functions such as wp_insert_user, update_option, and file_put_contents, combined with no sanitization of PHP condition rule values stored via the firebox_meta REST endpoint. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to execute code on the server. On sites upgraded from a version prior to 3.1.10, the Migrator::preserveCampaignRoleAccess() function automatically grants the edit_fireboxes and publish_fireboxes capabilities to the Author role, lowering the effective entry point to Author-level access.

    The Live Composer – Free WordPress Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via dslc_module_projects_output Shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.19 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. WordPress's shortcode-aware kses handling preserves the serialized shortcode body as a placeholder before content filtering runs, allowing attacker-controlled values such as view_all_link, main_heading_link_title, main_filter_title_all, and button_text to reach render-time sinks entirely unescaped.

    The WPBakery Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'data' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.7.4 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 wp_kses_post sanitization applied during save does not neutralize the payload because the malicious script content is base64-encoded as plain alphanumeric text with no HTML tags to strip; the vc_raw_html shortcode template then decodes and echoes this content unescaped at render time.

This requires the wppb_toolbox_shortcodes_settings[format-date] option to be set to 'yes' by an administrator for the shortcode to be active and the vulnerability to be exploitable.

    The Master Addons for Elementor – Elementor Addons, Widgets, Mega Menu Builder, Popup Builder, Widget Builder & Template Kits plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.9 via the upload_template_kit function. This is due to incorrect authorization on the upload_template_kit() AJAX handler, which requires only upload_files capability instead of the manage_options required by all sibling handlers, combined with missing per-entry file type filtering after ZIP extraction. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level access and above, to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. Editors can satisfy the nonce requirement because the required nonces are localized on the standard Pages list screen, which is accessible to any user with the edit_pages capability.

    The Cozy Blocks – Page Builder for Gutenberg Editor & FSE with 700+ Patterns, 58 Blocks & Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.17. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the name, price, short description, image URL, permalink, stock status, and product type of draft, pending, private, and catalog-hidden WooCommerce products not intended to be publicly visible. The sidebarNonce value is emitted unconditionally into public page HTML by multiple block renderers with no login gate, allowing unauthenticated visitors to harvest a valid nonce and pass the only authentication check in the handler.

    The ERP: Complete HR, Accounting & CRM Suite Built for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Unrestricted File Type Upload in all versions up to, and including, 1.17.8 via the save_attachments() function. This is due to missing file extension validation and missing path normalization when CRM Email Connect processes inbound IMAP email attachments. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send a crafted email to the site's configured inbound mailbox with a forged References header matching the plugin's expected pattern and an attachment filename such as `../helper.php`, causing the cron-based IMAP sync job to write attacker-controlled PHP outside of the .htaccess-protected `crm-attachments` directory and into `wp-content/uploads/`. On configurations where PHP executes in uploads, this can lead to remote code execution. Exploitation requires the CRM module and IMAP Email Connect feature to be enabled and configured.

    The Formidable Forms – WordPress Form Builder for Contact Forms, Calculators, Quizzes & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'frm_user_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.33.1 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. By forging frm_user_id to match an administrator's user ID — discoverable via the public WordPress REST API — an unauthenticated attacker causes wp_kses_post() to serve as the only output filter, which preserves the injected payload structurally intact; the plugin's admin JavaScript then decodes and executes it automatically on page load.

    The Tutor LMS WordPress plugin before 4.0.6 does not validate values used to build a database query, and does not restrict which template file a request may load, allowing unauthenticated users to inject SQL and to read question and answer content belonging to courses that are not publicly available.
