An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-81285 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WPMU DEV Smush Image Compression and Optimization. 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-2026-81285/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81285/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-81285","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81285/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-81285","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p96r-537r-m99j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can cause a denial of service in the Smush WordPress plugin, affecting site availability.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"Unauthenticated Denial of Service Attack in Smush Image Compression and Optimization \u003c= 4.2.0 versions.","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":"WordPress Smush Image Compression and Optimization plugin \u003c= 4.2.0 - Denial of Service Attack vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81285","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress WCFM Marketplace plugin \u003c= 3.8.1 - SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81286"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress ACF Extended plugin \u003c= 0.9.2.6 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81284"},"products":["Smush Image Compression and Optimization"],"published":"2026-08-28","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-28","vendors":["WPMU DEV"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can cause a denial of service in the Smush WordPress plugin, affecting site availability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81285/"}
