An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-17581 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: kilbot WCPOS – Point of Sale (POS) plugin for WooCommerce. 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-2026-17581/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17581/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-17581","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17581/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-17581","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fq4g-jqvq-wx5r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress POS plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated Shop Managers can inject arbitrary PHP code via the thermal template engine, leading to remote code execution on the server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The WCPOS – Point of Sale (POS) plugin for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Code Injection via the 'thermal' Template Engine in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.14 due to the Receipt_Renderer_Factory dispatching templates with the 'thermal' engine to the Legacy_Php_Renderer instead of a safe thermal-specific renderer. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to inject arbitrary PHP code into a template post that is subsequently written to a temporary file and executed via PHP's include(), resulting in remote code execution on the server. This requires the attacker to have Shop Manager-level access or above, as the template save path enforces a wcpos_template_settings nonce and the manage_woocommerce_pos capability check.","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":"WCPOS \u003c= 1.9.14 - Authenticated (Shop Manager+) Code Injection via 'thermal' Template Engine","id":"CVE-2026-17581","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in Slider Hero with Video Background, Animation","id":"CVE-2026-17582"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Advanced Views – Display Custom Fields (ACF, Pods, MetaBox), Posts, CPT and Woo Products anywhere in Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver…","id":"CVE-2026-17580"},"products":["WCPOS – Point of Sale (POS) plugin for WooCommerce"],"published":"2026-08-16","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":"2026-08-17","vendors":["kilbot"]},"summary":"Authenticated Shop Managers can inject arbitrary PHP code via the thermal template engine, leading to remote code execution on the server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-17581/"}
