Critical Auth Bypass and RCE Flaws in Five WordPress Plugins/Themes
- Engineer — Act: CVSS 9.8 authentication bypass and RCE affecting commonly deployed plugins (Avada, GiveWP, TranslatePress, Pods, WPMU DEV Dashboard), with a public PoC already on GitHub; patch all five to their latest patched releases before the PoC accelerates exploitation.
- SOC/IR — Plan: No active exploitation confirmed (EPSS 0.00, not on KEV), but the public PoC shortens the window; build or tune detections for anomalous WordPress admin account creation and unauthenticated POST requests targeting these plugin endpoints this sprint.
- Leader — Skip
- Signals: CVE-2026-76581 — CISA KEV: not listed, EPSS 0.00, public PoC on GitHub
