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-2026-85000 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-2026-85000/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85000/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-85000","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85000/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-85000","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hm84-pqjf-hgxq"],"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 consume API quotas and bloat the database by exploiting missing authorization checks in the EmbedPress WordPress plugin.","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 4.6.8 does not perform any capability or nonce check on an unauthenticated request that triggers a server-side, credential-bearing request to a third-party API and stores attacker-controlled cache entries, allowing unauthenticated attackers to consume the site owner's third-party API quota and write unbounded records into the site's 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 \u003c 4.6.8 - Unauthenticated YouTube API Quota Consumption and Database Bloating","id":"CVE-2026-85000","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":"EmbedPress 4.4.9 - 4.6.6 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Elementor Widget showTitle Attribute","id":"CVE-2026-85001"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Pie Register Premium \u003c= 3.8.4.0 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload via piereg_file_upload AJAX Handler","id":"CVE-2026-84999"},"products":["EmbedPress"],"published":"2026-10-14","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":"2026-10-14","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can consume API quotas and bloat the database by exploiting missing authorization checks in the EmbedPress WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85000/"}
