An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-16623 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Create Block Theme. 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-2026-16623/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16623/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16623","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16623/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16623","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6wqp-7cwm-r4gv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A multisite administrator can inject and execute arbitrary PHP code via pattern saving in the Create Block Theme plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The Create Block  WordPress plugin before 2.10.0 does not correctly escape user-supplied text before writing it into a generated PHP pattern file, allowing a multisite subsite administrator (who holds the capability gating this action but is denied the capability that normally gates PHP file editing) to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Create Block Theme \u003c 2.10.0 - Admin+ PHP Code Injection via Pattern Save (Multisite)","id":"CVE-2026-16623","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"CVE-2026-16624","id":"CVE-2026-16624"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Payment Gateway for PayPal on WooCommerce \u003c 9.2.1 - Unauthenticated Payment Bypass via PayPal Advanced Return Handler","id":"CVE-2026-16621"},"products":["Create Block Theme"],"published":"2026-08-04","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-04","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"A multisite administrator can inject and execute arbitrary PHP code via pattern saving in the Create Block Theme plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16623/"}
