CVE Catalog

CVE-2026-6169

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The affiliate-toolkit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to remote code execution in all versions up to and including 3.8.5. This is due to the plugin using the BladeOne templating engine's runString() method which compiles user-supplied template content into PHP code and executes it via eval() without sanitization or sandboxing.

Risk Assessment

Authenticated attackers with Editor-level access and above can inject PHP into a plugin template, allowing them to execute arbitrary code on the server. This poses a significant security risk to the system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the affiliate-toolkit plugin to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, access to the plugin should be restricted to trusted users.
