An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-12685 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown escortwp. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12685/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12685/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-12685","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12685/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-12685","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vvr8-3962-w5v6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_modify","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress theme","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can use a hard-coded backdoor key to permanently delete site content and exfiltrate sensitive data from the EscortWP WordPress theme.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The EscortWP escortwp WordPress theme through 3.6.2 was distributed with a vendor-authored, obfuscated backdoor that lets an unauthenticated attacker who supplies a hard-coded, per-build key permanently delete all of the site's content, and that covertly transmits the site URL, administrator email address, and license key to a third-party server.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"EscortWP \u003c= 3.6.2 - Content Deletion via Vendor-Authored Backdoor","id":"CVE-2026-12685","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Incorrect authorisation in Adiss’s Biloop","id":"CVE-2026-12686"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Customer Reviews for WooCommerce \u003c 5.113.0 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Media Upload via cr_upload_media","id":"CVE-2026-12684"},"products":["escortwp"],"published":"2026-07-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-10","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can use a hard-coded backdoor key to permanently delete site content and exfiltrate sensitive data from the EscortWP WordPress theme.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-12685/"}
