CVE-2026-17581
HighCVSS 7.2Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk52th percentile - higher than 52% of all known CVEs
Summary
The WCPOS – Point of Sale (POS) plugin for WooCommerce up to version 1.9.14 is vulnerable to Code Injection via the 'thermal' template engine. Authenticated attackers with Shop Manager-level access can inject arbitrary PHP code into a template that is subsequently executed on the server, leading to remote code execution.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with Shop Manager privileges can take over the server, steal data, install backdoors, or fully compromise the system.
Recommendation
Update the WCPOS plugin to the latest version if a patch is available. Limit the number of accounts with Shop Manager privileges and regularly audit templates for malicious code.
Original NVD description (English source)
The WCPOS – Point of Sale (POS) plugin for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Code Injection via the 'thermal' Template Engine in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.14 due to the Receipt_Renderer_Factory dispatching templates with the 'thermal' engine to the Legacy_Php_Renderer instead of a safe thermal-specific renderer. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to inject arbitrary PHP code into a template post that is subsequently written to a temporary file and executed via PHP's include(), resulting in remote code execution on the server. This requires the attacker to have Shop Manager-level access or above, as the template save path enforces a wcpos_template_settings nonce and the manage_woocommerce_pos capability check.
