This flaw enables an attacker to place malicious code on the site, potentially leading to remote code execution, data theft, or site defacement. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress installation by granting the attacker the means to run code with the webserver\u2019s privileges.", "risk_and_exploitability": "The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates a high severity attack. An EPSS score of 2% suggests that the probability of exploitation is low but not negligible. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA\u2019s KEV catalog, so no known public exploits are documented. The attack vector requires authentication; an attacker must have at least subscriber-level access. Once authenticated, the attacker can upload arbitrary files that can be executed by the webserver, leading to full remote code execution on the host."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-21T21:15:45.444409+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-21T21:15:45.444425+00:00", "vendors": []}
