CVE-2026-3352: CWE-94 Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in shahadul878 Easy PHP Settings
The Easy PHP Settings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Code Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4 via the `update_wp_memory_constants()` method. This is due to insufficient input validation on the `wp_memory_limit` and `wp_max_memory_limit` settings before writing them to `wp-config.php`. The `sanitize_text_field()` function used for sanitization does not filter single quotes, allowing an attacker to break out of the string context in a PHP `define()` statement. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server by modifying `wp-config.php`, which is loaded on every page request.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-3352 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Easy PHP Settings WordPress plugin (up to version 1.0.4) that allows authenticated administrators to perform PHP code injection. The flaw exists in the update_wp_memory_constants() method where the wp_memory_limit and wp_max_memory_limit settings are insufficiently sanitized before being written to wp-config.php. The sanitization function sanitize_text_field() fails to filter single quotes, enabling attackers to break out of the string context in PHP define() statements and inject arbitrary PHP code. This code executes on every page load, potentially compromising the server.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with Administrator-level access to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server by modifying wp-config.php. This can lead to full server compromise, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:H/I:H/A:H).
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict Administrator-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Easy PHP Settings plugin if possible to prevent exploitation.
