CVE-2026-12872
The Webinfos WordPress plugin through 1.2 does not validate the type or name of uploaded files, nor restrict the upload action with any authentication, capability, or nonce check, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files (including PHP) to a web-accessible directory, leading to remote code execution on servers that execute PHP from the uploads path.
What this means for your business
- An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, without a login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.
- FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.8% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 53% of all known flaws.
What to do
- 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
