Critical CVSS 9.8
CVE-2026-16060
NVD analysis in progress
The Insert or Embed Articulate Content into WordPress plugin through 4.3000000027 does not correctly validate the contents of an uploaded archive, relying on a bypassable check that lets an Editor-level user upload a server-executable file into a public directory, resulting in remote code execution on servers configured to execute it.
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.
- 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 doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
