{"id":"CVE-2026-45293","summary":"WordPress Coding Standards (WordPressCS) contains an arbitrary code execution vulnerability","details":"WordPress Coding Standards is a set of PHP_CodeSniffer rules (sniffs) that enforce WordPress coding conventions. From 0.14.1 until 3.4.1, the WordPress.WP.EnqueuedResourceParameters sniff (active in the WordPress and WordPress-Extra rulesets) reconstructed the $ver argument passed to functions such as wp_enqueue_script() and ran it through eval() inside its is_falsy() method, so a maliciously crafted argument such as 'system'('id') would execute during a scan; as a result, running PHPCS with WordPressCS over untrusted PHP (for example a CI pipeline that lints pull requests, or a developer reviewing third-party code) could lead to arbitrary command execution on the scanning host. The WordPress-Core and WordPress-Docs rulesets are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.1.","aliases":["GHSA-3pwp-g2mj-5p3v"],"modified":"2026-07-31T03:33:45.697274717Z","published":"2026-07-28T15:34:45.092Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-95"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/45xxx/CVE-2026-45293.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/releases/tag/3.4.1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/45xxx/CVE-2026-45293.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/security/advisories/GHSA-3pwp-g2mj-5p3v"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-45293"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/commit/a29048d0bbef5cf25d42349c74e4072d3cbc8325"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/pull/2771"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress-coding-standards","events":[{"introduced":"cf6b310caad735816caef7573295f8a534374706"},{"fixed":"a29048d0bbef5cf25d42349c74e4072d3cbc8325"},{"fixed":"ec2ff942335f33683a5957a85d138753876a05cf"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0.14.1"},{"fixed":"3.4.1"}],"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","REFERENCES"]}}],"versions":["3.4.0","3.3.0","3.2.0","3.1.0","3.0.1","3.0.0","2.3.0","2.2.1","2.2.0","2.1.1","2.1.0","2.0.0","2.0.0-RC1","1.2.1","1.2.0","1.1.0","1.0.0","0.14.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-45293.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
