Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2026-60137
This WordPress Core SQL injection only triggers when a plugin or theme passes untrusted input to the vulnerable parameter, but CISA confirmed active exploitation and added it to KEV on 2026-07-21 despite the Medium severity (CVSS 5.9) and 4% EPSS. What makes it dangerous is the chain with CVE-2026-63030, which turns it into unauthenticated remote code execution on default WordPress installations. Any site running WordPress Core alongside plugins or themes that forward user input is exposed.
Do this: Update WordPress Core to a patched version immediately and audit installed plugins and themes for those passing untrusted input into database queries.
