What is CVE-2026-14357?
CVE-2026-14357 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in dplugins DevKit Pro, published on 2 Sep 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The DevKit Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 2.3.0. This is due to a missing capability check and missing nonce validation in the DPDEV_install_themes_func() function registered on the wp_ajax_DPDEV_install_themes action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install arbitrary theme ZIP packages containing PHP files that are extracted into the web-accessible wp-content/themes/ directory, which may make remote code execution possible.
