Published Aug 26, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.2 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Pods WordPress plugin before 3.3.9.1 does not correctly compare a display callback against its list of blocked functions, allowing users with the author role and above to execute arbitrary code on the server. Only sites using the restricted display-callback mode are affected, which is the automatic default on installations whose first Pods version predates 3.1.
