This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to create and publish executable PHP snippet posts via XML-RPC wp.newPost, which are then executed server-side via eval() in the run_eval() function when the snippet is rendered through the [wpcode] shortcode.","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/insert-headers-and-footers/tags/2.3.5/includes/class-wpcode-snippet-execute.php#L374","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/insert-headers-and-footers/tags/2.3.5/includes/class-wpcode-snippet-execute.php#L415","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/insert-headers-and-footers/tags/2.3.5/includes/execute/class-wpcode-snippet-execute-php.php#L25","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/insert-headers-and-footers/tags/2.3.5/includes/post-type.php#L24","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/insert-headers-and-footers/tags/2.3.5/includes/shortcode.php#L26"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:36:28.938604137+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-8832","score":0.01862,"percentile":0.79258,"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).
