Critical CVSS 9.8 Actively exploited
CVE-2026-63030
WordPress 6.9.x before 6.9.5 and 7.0.x before 7.0.2 is affected by a REST API batch endpoint route confusion issue which, combined with the author__not_in WP_Query SQL Injection (CVE-2026-60137), could allow an attacker to perform SQL Injection and achieve Remote Code Execution.
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
- Two components read the same data differently, so a check on one side does not protect the other.
- Likelihood
- Exploitation is not hypothetical: CISA has observed it in the wild.
What to doTop priority: CISA sets the remediation deadline at 24 July 2026. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
