CVE-2025-15556
HighCVSS 7.5KEVSummary
Wersje Notepad++ przed 8.8.9, korzystające z aktualizatora WinGUp, zawierają podatność na weryfikację integralności aktualizacji, w której pobrane metadane aktualizacji i instalatory nie są weryfikowane kryptograficznie. Atakujący, który jest w stanie przechwycić lub przekierować ruch aktualizacyjny, może spowodować pobranie i wykonanie instalatora kontrolowanego przez niego, co prowadzi do wykonania dowolnego kodu z uprawnieniami użytkownika.
Risk Assessment
Podatność ta stwarza ryzyko wykonania złośliwego kodu na systemach użytkowników, co może prowadzić do utraty danych, przejęcia kontroli nad systemem lub innych poważnych incydentów bezpieczeństwa.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację Notepad++ do wersji 8.8.9 lub nowszej oraz weryfikację źródeł aktualizacji, aby zminimalizować ryzyko przechwycenia ruchu aktualizacyjnego.

- CVE-2026-120518Critical
The BuddyPress XProfile Image Field plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.0. The bpxp_image_field_update_on_user_activation() function calls unlink() on a path built from visitor-supplied signup metadata without realpath() resolution, containment check, or extension allow-list.
- CVE-2026-86596Critical
The s2Member plugin for WordPress in versions up to and including 260927 is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via the 'item_name' parameter. Insufficient sanitization in strip_php_tags_deep() only strips literal '<?' sequences, and a post-interpolation placeholder cleanup reassembles a valid '<?php' opener after the attacker-controlled value has already been embedded in the email template.
- CVE-2026-97718Critical
CVE-2026-97718 is a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in version 14.60 of the Secure Access server. Because of a bypassed security control, an attacker can cause an admin to create an account under their control.

- CVE-2026-102435Critical
The Ultra Addons for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the _getObjAttr function in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.54. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). This requires the PDF Generator add-on to be active and a Contact Form 7 form to be configured for PDF generation.

Original NVD description (English source)
Notepad++ versions prior to 8.8.9, when using the WinGUp updater, contain an update integrity verification vulnerability where downloaded update metadata and installers are not cryptographically verified. An attacker able to intercept or redirect update traffic can cause the updater to download and execute an attacker-controlled installer, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user.
