High CVSS 7.2
CVE-2026-13158
NVD analysis in progress
The Everest Toolkit WordPress plugin through 1.2.3 does not validate the type of files uploaded during demo-content import (the WordPress file-type test is disabled), allowing high-privilege users (Administrator by default, including non-super-admin site administrators on multisite) to upload executable PHP files to the uploads directory.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, with a privileged account and with no action from the victim.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- Upload accepts a dangerous file type, often one the server will execute.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
