CVE Catalog

CVE-2026-115252

CriticalCVSS 10.0
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Confection WordPress Cable plugin from 0.4.0 to 0.4.7 does not perform capability or nonce checks before saving its settings and writes one of them unmodified into a standalone PHP file that it then serves. This allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server.

Risk Assessment

An unauthenticated attacker can achieve remote code execution and take control of the server, compromising confidentiality, integrity and availability of the site.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to a version later than 0.4.7 or disable it, and until then restrict access to configuration files and check the server for unauthorized modifications.
