CVE-2026-92097

CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Click to Chat for WhatsApp plugin for WordPress up to version 4.44 is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution. This is due to the greetings_dialog() function building the {url} placeholder from a filtered $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] on archive pages and then passing the substituted content to do_shortcode() without stripping shortcode delimiters. This allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes registered by WordPress core, the active theme, or any other plugin.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can execute arbitrary shortcodes, potentially leading to displaying malicious content, data theft, or other harmful actions depending on available shortcodes.

Recommendation

Update the Click to Chat for WhatsApp plugin to the latest patched version. Restrict access to archive pages and monitor content generated by shortcodes.
