An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-93485 exists.\n\nAffected product: Automattic WordPress. 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-2026-93485/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-93485/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-93485","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-93485/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-93485","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-93485","GHSA-2pgq-4jch-68j8","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-93485"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress core","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary scripts in a victim's browser via DOM-based XSS in WordPress, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Automattic WordPress wordpress allows DOM-Based XSS.This issue affects WordPress: from n/a through 7.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-09-22","github_poc":4,"max_poc_stars":64,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2026-09-25T00:13:54Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/DeathShotXD/Comment2Shell","stars":64,"title":"Comment2Shell is a zero click pre auth RCE exploit for WordPress CVE-2026-93485.
