This is due to insufficient sanitization of the first_name parameter via esc_refs(), which strips only regex backreferences and not PHP tags, before substitution into the eval'd Signup Tracking Codes template, combined with disclosure of the site-global proxy verification key that allows PayPal postback verification to be bypassed. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. Successful exploitation requires that the site administrator has configured a Signup Tracking Codes template containing the %%first_name%% placeholder (a documented, GUI-supported feature) and that the attacker has obtained the site-global proxy verification key, which is exposed in plaintext in the JSON response of any PayPal Checkout AJAX request on the target site.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-94"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/s2member/trunk/src/includes/classes/paypal-checkout-in.inc.php#L736","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/s2member/trunk/src/includes/classes/paypal-return-in-subscr-or-wa-w-level.inc.php#L311","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/s2member/trunk/src/includes/classes/paypal-return-in-subscr-or-wa-w-level.inc.php#L319","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/s2member/trunk/src/includes/classes/paypal-return-in.inc.php#L47","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/s2member/trunk/src/includes/classes/paypal-utilities.inc.php#L185"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-19804","score":0.0104,"percentile":0.6401,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
