Low risk8th percentile - higher than 8% of all known CVEs
Summary
The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before version 4.6.4 does not have proper authorization on a public review-loading action, allowing unauthenticated users to force the site to make repeated billable third-party API requests using the site's own configured API key, and to create an unbounded number of attacker-controlled rows in the database.
Risk Assessment
Risk includes financial costs from billable API calls, database overload, and potential data integrity damage.
Recommendation
Update the plugin to version 4.6.4 or later. Additionally, monitor API usage and restrict access to public actions if possible.
Other vulnerabilities in EmbedPress
See all- CVE-2026-84927Low
The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before version 4.6.4 does not perform a sufficient authorization check on one of its Google Reviews REST API routes, allowing users with the Contributor role and above to modify a site-wide store, deleting entries an administrator configured and injecting their own, which are rendered publicly across the site.
- CVE-2026-84926Low
The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before version 4.6.4 does not properly restrict access to one of its Google Reviews REST routes, allowing any authenticated user with contributor-level access or above to read the site administrator's email address, a value WordPress core withholds from that role.
- CVE-2026-61961High
Unauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) in EmbedPress versions up to and including 4.5.6.
- CVE-2026-10526Medium
The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before 4.6.1 does not validate user-supplied URLs before making server-side requests through unauthenticated endpoints. This allows unauthenticated attackers to induce the site to send HTTP requests to internal hosts and services that WordPress core URL validation does not cover (a blind Server-Side Request Forgery).
- CVE-2026-48872High
Versions of EmbedPress up to 4.5.2 are vulnerable to unauthorized access to sensitive data.
- CVE-2026-7796Medium
The EmbedPress plugin for WordPress up to version 4.5.3 is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the block 'url' attribute. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access can inject arbitrary scripts that execute whenever a user visits the page.
