Critical CVSS 9
CVE-2026-14602
The Remote API WordPress plugin through 0.2 does not authenticate a request before deserializing user-supplied input, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary PHP objects, which can lead to remote code execution when a suitable gadget chain is present through another installed Remote API WordPress plugin through 0.2.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim. The attack does require particular conditions, which makes it less systematic.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
- Weakness
- The application interprets attacker-supplied code, which then runs with its privileges.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
