HighCVE-2026-3772

WP Editor <= 1.2.9.2 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Remote Code Execution via Plugin and Theme File Editor

WP Editor: Currently marked unpatched

Affected versions: *-1.2.9.2

Vulnerability type: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.9.2. This is due to missing nonce verification in the 'add_plugins_page' and 'add_themes_page' functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite arbitrary plugin and theme PHP files with attacker-controlled code via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking a link.

Affected versions: *-1.2.9.1

Vulnerability type: CWE-22 Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

Vulnerability type: CWE-502 Deserialization of Untrusted Data

Affected software, patched versions and attribution

The WP Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to deserialization of untrusted input via the 'current_theme_root' parameter in versions up to, and including 1.2.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrative privileges to call files using a PHAR wrapper that will deserialize and call arbitrary PHP Objects that can be used to perform a variety of malicious actions granted a POP chain is also present. It also requires that the attacker is successful in uploading a file with the serialized payload.
