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-2026-84936 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown EmbedPress. 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-2026-84936/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-84936/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-84936","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-84936/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-84936","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5cvh-x6xg-5fhw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can trigger excessive API costs and database bloat in EmbedPress by exploiting missing authorization on review loading.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The EmbedPress  WordPress plugin before 4.6.4 does not have proper authorization on a public review-loading action, allowing unauthenticated users to force the site to make repeated billable third-party API requests using the site's own configured API key, and to create an unbounded number of attacker-controlled rows in the database.","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":"EmbedPress 4.6.0 - 4.6.3 - Unauthenticated Google Reviews API Quota Consumption and Database Bloat","id":"CVE-2026-84936","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"YT Player \u003c 2.1.0 - Contributor+ SQLi via ytp_ajax","id":"CVE-2026-84937"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HT Menu \u003c 1.2.7 - Subscriber+ Stored XSS via Menu Settings","id":"CVE-2026-84935"},"products":["EmbedPress"],"published":"2026-09-05","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":"2026-09-06","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can trigger excessive API costs and database bloat in EmbedPress by exploiting missing authorization on review loading.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-84936/"}
