    The ReactPress – Create React App for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'permalink' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.0 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. This is possible because the permalink parameter is only passed through sanitize_url(), which does not prevent fetching attacker-controlled remote URLs whose response body — including script tags and event-handler attributes — is written verbatim to disk via file_put_contents().

    Serialize JavaScript serializes JavaScript values to a superset of JSON that includes regular expressions and functions. From 7.1.1 until 7.1.2, function values serialized by serialize-javascript are not fully protected against script-closing tags in attacker-influenced function source because SCRIPT_CLOSE_REGEXP can consume a second closing tag inside one match. When the serialized function is embedded in a script element, the surviving closing tag terminates the element early and causes the remaining output to be parsed as HTML, enabling cross-site scripting in the page origin. Only function values are affected; ordinary data values and options.isJSON output are unaffected. This issue is fixed in version 7.1.2.

    compress provides various compression algorithms. Prior to version 1.18.7, a signed integer overflow vulnerability in s2.NewDict() allows an attacker to bypass repeat index validation by supplying a dictionary with a uvarint-encoded repeat value exceeding MaxInt64. When Dict.Encode() is subsequently called, the overflowed negative repeat value causes an out-of-bounds memory access via unsafe.Pointer arithmetic, crashing the process with SIGSEGV. This issue has been patched in version 1.18.7.

  • Sep 29, 2026Apache Airflow's Google provider built Google Drive search expressions by interpolating file and folder names directly into single-quoted string literals, withoCVE-2026-81914 · Websites & servers · Apache Software Foundation · reported by security@apache.orgMedium 4.3

    Apache Airflow's Google provider built Google Drive search expressions by interpolating file and folder names directly into single-quoted string literals, without escaping the quote character that delimits them. A name containing an apostrophe therefore terminated the literal early and appended clauses of the attacker's choosing to the query. The names are frequently not written by the Dag author. In a wildcard `gcs_to_gdrive` transfer they come from the source bucket listing, so anyone able to create objects in that bucket controls them — typically an external data producer or an ingest-only service account, a different trust principal from the Dag author. An injected clause can broaden the match and so steer which file or folder the hook resolves: an upload can be directed into a folder the attacker named, and, because downloads select the most recently modified match, a download can return a file they placed rather than the one the Dag asked for. Affects deployments passing externally-sourced names to the Google Drive hook, including wildcard `gcs_to_gdrive` transfers from buckets writable by less-trusted principals. Users are advised to upgrade to `apache-airflow-providers-go

  • Sep 28, 2026The decompress package for Node.js extracts archives.CVE-2026-101894 · Other software · XhmikosR · reported by GitHubCritical 9.1

    The decompress package for Node.js extracts archives. Prior to 10.2.2 and 11.1.4, the default decompress(input, output) API relies on lexical containment checks that do not account for the kernel following a planted symlink chain. An attacker can supply a crafted archive containing chained symlink entries so that a later entry resolves outside the output directory. This allows files outside output to be read or written, and overwriting startup scripts or configuration can lead to remote code execution. The maintained @xhmikosr/decompress package is fixed in 10.2.2 and 11.1.4, but the separately affected unmaintained decompress package remains unpatched through 4.2.1. This vulnerability results from a bypass of the incomplete hardening for CVE-2026-53486. @xhmikosr/decompress is fixed in versions 10.2.2 and 11.1.4.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: erofs: disable LZ4 rolling decompression for now LZ4 rolling decompression [1] was introduced to reduce the memory footprint of temporary pages: For many cases, it is needed for users to read small data within a compressed extent (pcluster), either due to random small read, or since uptodate folios (typically order-0) cannot be reused for decompression again since decompression algorithm refills already-uptodate folios. Rolling decompression works because LZ4 is LZ77-based and only refers to the most recent 64 KiB of decompressed data, so in theory only a bounded rolling window of temporary pages is needed when decompressing. It can save a lot of temporary memory, e.g. 601,960-byte data can be compressed into a 256k LZ4 compressed extent, which means it needs 146 extra pages per request in the worst case if rolling decompression is disabled. However, the upstream LZ4 implementation is not under EROFS' control: For example, the literal copy memmove() may still **copy long literals backward** on x86 based on the address comparison even when the source and destination ranges do not overlap (IOWs, inline

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: sprd: validate compress buffer sizes against fixed allocations sprd_platform_compr_open() allocates the stage 0 IRAM buffer (32K data area) and the stage 1 DDR buffer (2M data area) with fixed sizes, but sprd_platform_compr_copy() derives all copy lengths from the user controlled runtime->fragment_size and the write() count, never comparing them against the physical buffer sizes. The compress core only checks fragment_size * fragments for an u32 overflow in snd_compress_check_input(), so a local user can configure a logical buffer of up to ~4GB via SNDRV_COMPRESS_SET_PARAMS, far exceeding the fixed allocations. A fragment_size larger than the 32K IRAM data area makes the stage 0 copy_from_user() overflow past the IRAM allocation, and a buffer_size larger than the 2M DDR buffer makes the wrapping copy at the end of sprd_platform_compr_copy() write fully user controlled data past the buffer. No SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START is needed, a write() in SETUP state reaches the copy callback directly. Reject parameters that do not fit into the fixed buffers in set_params(), and fix the advertised max fragment size: 128K

This is due to the `provisionBlogCredentials()` function in `iHomefinderAdmin.php` being reachable via the `wp_ajax_nopriv_ihf_clear_cache` AJAX action — through the call chain `iHomefinderAjaxHandler::clearCache()` → `activateAuthenticationToken()` → `getAuthenticationInfo()` → `provisionBlogCredentials()` — with no capability check, nonce verification, or ownership validation, and the function unconditionally calling `$user->set_role('author')` on whichever WordPress account matches the hard-coded login `optima-express` via `get_user_by('login', 'optima-express')`. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to escalate a pre-registered `optima-express` account to the Author role, gaining `publish_posts`, `upload_files`, and `edit_published_posts` capabilities, including access to the plugin's own `/wp-json/optima-express/v1/blog-post` REST endpoint. Exploitation requires open user registration to be enabled on the target site, and the attacker must register the `optima-express` username before the plugin has had the opportunity to provision that

    The WPForms – AI Form Builder for WordPress – Contact Forms, Payment Forms, Survey Form, Quiz & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'page_title' POST Parameter via {page_title} Smart Tag in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2 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. This is only exploitable on forms whose admin-authored confirmation message places the {page_title} Smart Tag inside an HTML attribute context.

  • Sep 25, 2026Gutenverse – WordPress Blocks, Page Builder & Site Editor: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-92746 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Gutenverse – WordPress Blocks, Page Builder & Site Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Post Comment Block 'suffixMain' Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 4.0.8 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 core wp_kses_post sanitization does not mitigate this vulnerability because the payload is stored inside a Gutenberg block delimiter comment rather than as a raw HTML tag, and is only rendered as exploitable HTML at the PHP render stage.

    ESF-IDF is the Espressif Internet of Things (IOT) Development Framework. In 5.5.5, 6.0.1, and 6.1, the BlueDroid A2DP sink function btc_a2dp_sink_handle_inc_media() reads a timestamp field from the received media buffer before validating that the packet layout contains the field. A paired BR/EDR audio source within radio range can send a malformed A2DP media packet to a build with BlueDroid Classic Bluetooth and A2DP sink support enabled, causing an out-of-bounds read into adjacent heap memory and limited disclosure of heap contents. Arbitrary memory disclosure and code execution are not established.

    The Post Grid WordPress plugin before 7.9.5 does not limit an expansion of the WordPress allowed-HTML list to its own markup and applies it site-wide, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to store iframe, style and input elements that are normally stripped from their content, leading to HTML injection (phishing frames, CSS defacement and spoofed input forms) that renders to any visitor and to administrators reviewing the content.

  • Sep 23, 2026EthPress – Web3 Login: Authentication BypassCVE-2026-19125 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.1

    The EthPress – Web3 Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.5. This is due to the verify_login() function in app/Login.php containing a missing return statement in the signature verification failure branch — when Signature::verify2() reports a mismatch, the function only assigns a WP_Error to a local variable and continues executing, causing unconditional fall-through to the login block where Address::log_in() calls wp_set_auth_cookie() regardless of whether the submitted signature is valid. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any WordPress user who has a linked wallet address — including administrators — by submitting that user's public wallet address alongside an arbitrary well-formed signature, enabling full site takeover.

    A one-byte out-of-bounds heap read flaw was found in GIMP's uncompressed DDS image loader. When a user opens an uncompressed DDS image, the file-dds plug-in performs an unconditional one-byte look-ahead after processing the final pixel. This may cause the plug-in to crash if the byte immediately following the pixel buffer is inaccessible; no information disclosure or code execution has been demonstrated.

    CyberPanel v1.9.1 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the compress method exposed through the /filemanager/controller endpoint. An authenticated remote attacker with ownership of any configured domain can supply absolute or otherwise out-of-scope file paths in the listOfFiles JSON property, together with attacker-controlled basePath and compressedFileName values, in a method=compress request. Because the application validates only domain ownership and does not canonicalize or restrict these paths to the authorized site directory, the backend appends them to zip or tar archive commands and executes them as the website externalApp user, allowing disclosure of arbitrary readable files through the generated archive.

    WPGraphQL provides a GraphQL API for WordPress sites. Prior to 2.22.2, the updatePost mutation in src/Mutation/PostObjectUpdate.php checks only the collection-level edit_posts capability and the post author, but does not enforce the object-level edit_post capability or require publish_posts for public status transitions. An authenticated Contributor can therefore publish the Contributor's own draft without editorial approval or modify the Contributor's previously published post despite lacking edit_published_posts, while posts owned by other authors remain protected. This issue is fixed in version 2.22.2.
