CVE-2026-14602: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in Remote API
The Remote API WordPress plugin version 0.2 and earlier contains a critical vulnerability where it does not authenticate requests before deserializing user-supplied input. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary PHP objects, potentially leading to remote code execution if a suitable gadget chain is present in the environment.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14602 is a code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) 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 lead to remote code execution when a suitable gadget chain exists in the plugin or environment. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.0, indicating critical severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected system, leading to full compromise of the WordPress installation and potentially the underlying server. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability severely.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the plugin's API endpoints and consider disabling or removing the plugin if not essential. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches immediately once released.
