CVE-2025-6784: CWE-77 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') in tigroumeow Code Engine – PHP Snippets, AI Functions & Automation for WordPress
The Code Engine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 0.3.5 via the 'code-engine' shortcode. This is due to the plugin not restricting access to the code injecting functionality of the plugin. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to execute code on the server.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-6784 is a command injection vulnerability in the Code Engine plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 0.3.5. The issue arises because the plugin does not restrict access to its code injection functionality, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or above to execute arbitrary code remotely via the 'code-engine' shortcode. This can lead to full compromise of the affected server.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with Contributor-level or higher privileges to execute arbitrary code on the server hosting the WordPress site. This can result in complete system compromise, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector (Confidentiality: High, Integrity: High, Availability: High).
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted users only. Monitor for plugin updates from tigroumeow and apply any official patches promptly once available.
