{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2026-92115","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authenticated Command Injection in all versions up to, and including, 9.3.02.002 via the `value` parameter of the `update-photo` AJAX action. This is due to insufficient shell escaping within the `wppa_image_magick_a()` function, where the attacker-controlled `value` parameter is concatenated raw — without `escapeshellarg()` — into an ImageMagick command string before being passed to `exec()`; further, `wppa_decode()` actively restores percent-encoded shell metacharacters (e.g., `%26`→`&`, `%23`→`#`) rather than stripping them, allowing crafted payloads to survive sanitization and break out of the ImageMagick argument context. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers holding the plugin-defined `wppa_upload` capability to execute arbitrary operating-system commands as the web-server user, achieving full remote code execution on the underlying server. Exploitation requires ImageMagick to be enabled on the server; the `wppa_upload` capability is a plugin-level privilege that site administrators may grant to lower-privileged WordPress roles via the plugin's Users settings, broadening the pool of potential attackers beyond administrators.","dates":{"published":"2026-10-16T06:41:08.509Z","modified":"2026-10-16T15:09:37.836Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","score":8.8,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"NVD","score":8.8,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false}]},"epss":{"probability":0.01475,"percentile":0.73449,"severity":"low","asOf":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","change":{"pp":null,"baselineDate":null,"baselineScore":null},"history":[{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.01475,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.01475,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.01475,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.01475,"percentile":0.73449}],"last30":[{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.01475,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.01475,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.01475,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.01475,"percentile":0.73449}]},"kev":{"state":"not-listed","entries":[],"listedCount":0,"totalCatalogs":3,"catalogs":[{"source":"cisa","label":"CISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"enisa","label":"ENISA","listed":false,"entry":null},{"source":"circl","label":"CIRCL","listed":false,"entry":null}]},"ransomware":{"state":"none-recorded","sources":[]},"exploits":[],"exploitCount":0,"weaknesses":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper
