CVE-2026-116512

CriticalCVSS 9.8
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Project Manager – AI Powered Project Management plugin for WordPress (up to 4.1.1) is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution via the 'id' parameter. The unsanitized value is concatenated into a validation rule string and then invoked as a dynamic PHP function without allowlist checks. This allows unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, leading to full site compromise and potential data access. The flaw is trivial to exploit by unauthenticated users.

Recommendation

Immediately update the plugin to a version later than 4.1.1. If updating is not possible, disable the plugin until a fix is available.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Project Manager – AI Powered Project Management, Task Management, Kanban Board & Time Tracker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.1 via the 'id' parameter parameter. This is due to unsanitized 'id' parameter value concatenated directly into the pipe-delimited validation rule string, which is then split and each token invoked as a dynamic PHP function with no allowlist check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. This is exploitable by unauthenticated attackers because WordPress core executes the route argument's validate_callback inside WP_REST_Server::dispatch() before the route's permission_callback is invoked, meaning the Project_Manage_Capability authorization gate is never reached on the vulnerable code path.
