Critical CVSS 10

CVE-2026-14812

NVD analysis in progress

The Premium SEO WordPress plugin is malicious: it ships an unauthenticated backdoor that creates a hidden administrator account and, in some builds, also enables remote code execution, server-side request forgery and arbitrary front-end script/content injection, giving an unauthenticated attacker full control of the affected site.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
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.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
