CVE-2026-14602: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in Remote API
The Remote API WordPress plugin versions up to 0.2 contain a vulnerability where unauthenticated requests are not properly authenticated before deserializing user-supplied input. This flaw allows attackers to inject arbitrary PHP objects, potentially leading to remote code execution if a suitable gadget chain exists in the environment.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14602 describes an improper control of code generation (CWE-94) vulnerability in the Remote API WordPress plugin through version 0.2. The plugin fails to authenticate requests before deserializing user input, enabling unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary PHP objects. This can result in remote code execution when combined with an appropriate gadget chain present in the plugin or environment. No CVSS score or official remediation details are currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution on the affected system, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code without authentication. This poses a critical risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress installation and potentially the underlying server.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the vulnerable plugin endpoints and consider disabling the Remote API plugin if it is not essential. Monitor official sources for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
