    The Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.3.7 does not prevent the deserialization of user-controlled input in some of its event content fields, allowing users with Contributor-level access and above to inject PHP objects. No POP chain is present in the Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.3.7 itself, but if one is present via another installed Event Booking Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 5.3.7 or , this could lead to actions such as arbitrary file deletion, sensitive data retrieval, or remote code execution.

    The RT Mega Menu WordPress plugin before 1.5.2 does not perform a capability check on the AJAX action that saves mega-menu configuration and per-menu-item settings; its only gate is a nonce that any logged-in user can read from a standard admin page. A subscriber-level user can therefore enable the mega menu on a site menu and store a menu-item style value that is rendered, without output escaping, into a style attribute on the public navigation. By breaking out of that attribute the user persists a JavaScript event handler that executes for every visitor who hovers the navigation, including administrators, leading to session/site takeover.

    The SMS Alert WordPress plugin before 3.9.8 does not bind its "mobile verified" session flag to the phone number that was actually verified: after an attacker verifies an OTP sent to their own phone, the signup/login handler reads a fresh, attacker-supplied phone number to select the account and logs them in.

  • Aug 1, 2026WooCommerce - Social Login: Authentication BypassCVE-2026-8457 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The WooCommerce - Social Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to and including 2.8.7. This is due to the plugin's Apple login handler accepting the Apple id_token and decoding only its base64 payload without verifying the JWT signature against Apple's public keys or validating the issuer, audience, or expiry claims, combined with the security nonce required to invoke the login flow being publicly exposed to unauthenticated users via a localized JavaScript object on the login page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress user — including administrators — by supplying a forged id_token whose payload contains the target user's email address, as that email is used without any role exclusion to resolve a WordPress account and immediately issue an authenticated session for it.

    The User Access Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.15 via the 'uamgetfile' parameter parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. This is possible because when attachment_url_to_postid() returns 0 for a traversal path, the plugin falls back to the global post set by a valid ?attachment_id parameter supplied by the attacker, causing the access check to pass against a legitimate public attachment while the file streamed is the attacker-chosen path.

    The CubeWP Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.30 via the 'cubewp_get_svg_content' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. This is exploitable by unauthenticated attackers because the required nonce is publicly emitted into the markup of any page rendering the CubeWP posts shortcode or widget with AJAX loading enabled, making it harvestable by any guest visitor before submitting the AJAX request.

    The CubeWP Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection in all versions up to and including 1.1.30. This is due to insufficient input sanitization in the cubewp_remove_relation() AJAX function, specifically the use of wp_unslash() on the relation_id parameter before interpolating it directly into a raw SQL query without using $wpdb->prepare(). The wp_unslash() call explicitly removes the backslash escaping that WordPress's wp_magic_quotes() adds to all $_POST data, neutralizing the only layer of SQL injection protection. The sanitize_text_field() function applied afterward offers no SQL protection. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries to the existing query.

  • Aug 1, 2026Wp Responsive Thumbnail Slider: Reflected Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-18344 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.1

    The Wp Responsive Thumbnail Slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'id' parameter in versions up to, and excluding, 1.1.53. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the responsive_thumbnail_image_management() function, which echoes $_GET['id'] directly into a double-quoted HTML attribute with no esc_attr() call. The only guard is a loose PHP numeric comparison ($_GET['id']>0) that a string beginning with a numeric prefix trivially satisfies, and the addslashes() applied by wp_magic_quotes() is inert in HTML-attribute context because backslash is not an HTML escape character. 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 specially crafted link.

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. This vulnerability is only triggerable when the block's urlTransparent attribute is set to a non-empty value, as this is a required precondition for the vulnerable code path in build_html() to be reached.

    The PixelYourSite – Your smart PIXEL (TAG) & API Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 11.2.1 via the getWooPurchaseEventParams. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract WooCommerce purchase metadata — including product names, product IDs, quantities, per-item prices, order totals, currency, and order/transaction IDs — for any existing order by supplying an invalid or arbitrary order key. This is exploitable against any known or enumerated order ID, as the plugin resolves the order from the URL path variable alone and emits the full woo_purchase tracking payload into the page HTML via the pysOptions JavaScript object across its Facebook, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager integrations regardless of key validity.

  • Aug 1, 2026WPvivid Backup & Migration: SQL InjectionCVE-2026-17555 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.9

    The WPvivid Backup & Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the export_data parameter in versions up to, and including, 0.9.131. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. The values are received in prepare_export_post(), passed through sanitize_text_field() and stripslashes(), JSON-decoded, and the attacker-controlled JSON object keys are collected as $posts_ids without integer casting. They are stored in the export task options and later joined with commas and interpolated directly into a `WHERE ID IN (...)` clause inside a $wpdb->get_results() call in export_post_to_xml() (unquoted, numeric context), with no $wpdb->prepare() or esc_sql(). 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.

  • Aug 1, 2026Download Manager: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-16685 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 6.4

    The Download Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'icon' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.66 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. wp_kses_post() does not neutralize the payload because it operates on post content at save time and does not process shortcode attribute values that are emitted unescaped at render time.

  • Aug 1, 2026Pronamic Pay: Privilege EscalationCVE-2026-16635 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.8

    The Pronamic Pay plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 10.1.0 This is due to the `maybe_update_user_role()` function passing an attacker-controlled Gravity Forms field value (`$lead[$feed->user_role_field_id]`) directly into `WP_User::set_role()` without any allowlist validation, capability comparison, or permission check to constrain which roles can be assigned. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to escalate their own WordPress account to Administrator by tampering with the role field value in a form submission. Exploitation requires that an administrator has already configured a Pronamic Pay payment feed in Gravity Forms with the **Update User Role** option enabled and mapped to a form field; once that configuration is in place, no further preconditions exist to prevent an authenticated attacker from exploiting this vulnerability.

  • Aug 1, 2026GSheetConnector – CF7 Google Sheets Connector with Real-Time Sync: Generic SQL InjectionCVE-2026-16614 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.9

    The GSheetConnector – CF7 Google Sheets Connector with Real-Time Sync plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to generic SQL Injection via the 's' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.2.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. 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. wp_unslash() strips magic-quote protection and sanitize_text_field() does not escape SQL metacharacters, leaving single quotes and other SQL metacharacters intact before the value is interpolated into the query.

  • Aug 1, 2026Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder: Remote Code ExecutionCVE-2026-16144 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.1

    The Kali Forms — Contact Form & Drag-and-Drop Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.20 via the _save_data function. This is due to insufficient validation of the 'thisPermalink' field value before it overwrites a trusted callable placeholder, allowing attacker-controlled strings to reach call_user_func() in _save_data(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. Exploitation requires the target form to define a field with a name matching one of the reserved placeholder keys ('thisPermalink', 'entryCounter', or 'submission_link'), as check_if_placeholders_changed() only processes POST keys present in the form's field_type_map.

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 save-time wp_kses_post does not neutralize this payload because the injected value is stored inside a shortcode attribute rather than as a raw HTML tag, and is only emitted into HTML at render time without escaping.

    The Icegram Engage – Popups, Optins, CTAs & Lead Generation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to second-order SQL Injection via 'messages[][id]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.42 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-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 injection is second-order: the malicious id value is first persisted to post meta via the save_campaign_preview() AJAX action (gated by a nonce check and edit_post capability, requiring Editor-level access or above), and only executed as SQL when a subsequent preview request triggers get_message_data() to interpolate the stored value directly into a SQL IN() clause without $wpdb->prepare() or integer casting.

  • Aug 1, 2026Single Sign On For TNG: Authentication BypassCVE-2026-15964 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Single Sign On For TNG plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via unauthenticated password reset in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0. This is due to the `ssoprocess_ajax()` function — registered on `wp_ajax_nopriv_ssoprocess_ajax` and therefore reachable without authentication — accepting an attacker-supplied `email` parameter with the `setnewpassword` operation and calling `reset_password()` on the resolved account without any ownership token, email confirmation link, or capability check. The sole guard is a call to `check_ajax_referer()`, which provides no authorization barrier because the `ssoajaxnonce` nonce is publicly broadcast on every front-end page via `wp_localize_script()` into the `SSOPWDREQUIREMENT` JavaScript object; since WordPress computes nonces for logged-out visitors against a shared anonymous session context, any unauthenticated visitor can scrape a valid nonce from the homepage and use it to authenticate the request. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the password of any WordPress account, including administrator accounts, enabling complete site takeover.

    The Icegram Mailer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'fields' parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.0.12. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query in the Icegram_Mailer_Logs_Table::get_logs() function, where each element of the `fields` array received from $_REQUEST['data'] is joined verbatim into the SELECT clause via implode() with no whitelist, escaping, or prepared-statement placeholder.
