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-2026-81779 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Silk Themes Newspapers X. 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-2026-81779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-81779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81779/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-81779","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g37c-r8pg-6jqx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress theme","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A backdoor in the Newspapers X WordPress theme allows attackers to implant malicious software and execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1284","name":"Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input"}],"description":"Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input vulnerability in Silk Themes Newspapers X allows Malicious Software Implanted.\n\nThis issue affects Newspapers X: from 1.0.46 through 1.0.48.","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 Newspapers X theme 1.0.46-1.0.48 - Backdoor vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81779","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Hash Form plugin \u003c= 1.4.2 - Arbitrary File Upload vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81780"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Kalles Addons plugin \u003c= 1.0.6 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-81778"},"products":["Newspapers X"],"published":"2026-08-31","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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-01","vendors":["Silk Themes"]},"summary":"A backdoor in the Newspapers X WordPress theme allows attackers to implant malicious software and execute arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-81779/"}
