CVE-2026-6933: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in premmerce Premmerce Dev Tools
The Premmerce Dev Tools WordPress plugin up to version 2.0 contains a vulnerability allowing authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to achieve remote code execution. This occurs because the 'generatePluginHandler' function lacks authorization checks and unsanitized user input is injected into PHP files written to the plugins directory. An attacker can inject arbitrary PHP code via the 'premmerce_plugin_namespace' parameter, leading to execution of malicious code on the server.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-6933 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Premmerce Dev Tools WordPress plugin (up to and including version 2.0). The vulnerability arises from missing authorization checks in the 'generatePluginHandler' function, which processes user-supplied POST data without validation. Additionally, the 'createFromStub' function performs unsanitized string substitution of the 'premmerce_plugin_namespace' parameter directly into PHP stub files saved in the wp-content/plugins/ directory. This allows an attacker with at least Subscriber-level privileges to inject a semicolon and arbitrary PHP code into the namespace parameter, resulting in the creation of malicious PHP files that execute when accessed via HTTP, enabling remote code execution on the server.
Potential Impact
An attacker with authenticated access at Subscriber level or higher can create arbitrary PHP files on the server by exploiting the lack of authorization and input sanitization. This leads to remote code execution, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
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 trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Premmerce Dev Tools plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once released.
