Impact
The vulnerability is an improper control of code generation (Code Injection) that allows a remote attacker to include arbitrary code in the WordPress Code Engine plugin. This flaw enables execution of attacker‑supplied code with the privileges of the web server, leading to full compromise of the affected site.
Affected Systems
The affected product is Jordy Meow’s Code Engine plug‑in for WordPress, versions 0.3.3 and earlier. Any WordPress installation deploying these versions is vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 9.9 indicates a critical severity, but the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation at the current time. The vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation would require a remote attacker to inject code through the plugin’s code‑generation functionality, likely via a crafted HTTP request or form submission within the WordPress admin interface.
