NVD description
An unauthenticated attacker can make `get_page_template()` page-template resolution include a chosen readable local `.php` file outside the active theme directories. If relevant pre-conditions for both the server and the active theme are met, this can lead to RCE.
‼️ URGENT - WordPress issues patch a new critical flaw (CVE-2026-87902) that requires no account and can lead to code execution on some servers.
Versions 4.7.0 through 7.1.1 are affected.
Here's how the flaw works: https://thehackernews.com/2026/09/wordpress-issues-patch-for-critical.html
🚨 WORDPRESS CRITICAL — UNAUTHENTICATED PAGE-TEMPLATE PATH TRAVERSAL CAN ENABLE RCE
WordPress has issued a critical security release for CVE-2026-87902: an unauthenticated attacker can make page-template resolution include a chosen readable local PHP file outside the active theme directories. When server and theme pre-conditions are met, that can lead to remote code execution.
• Severity: Critical — CVSS 9.2 (CVSS:4.0)
• CVE / GHSA: CVE-2026-87902 / GHSA-7hp8-65ch-5whp
• Affects: WordPress 4.7.0 through 7.1.1 (including last week’s 7.1.1)
• Fix: WordPress 7.1.2 (and backports down to 4.7.37)
• Pre-conditions for RCE: active theme has a top-level folder starting with page- (e.g. page-templates); a useful local .php target is readable (e.g. pearcmd.php when register_argc_argv is On)
• Exploitation in the wild: none reported as of the advisory; not on CISA KEV
• Credits: Robert Ressl (responsible disclosure)
⚠️ Analyst Note:
This is the official http://WordPress.org 7.1.2 security release published September 22, 2026, with matching GHSA-7hp8-65ch-5whp. It is a separate flaw from the September 17 WordPress 7.1.1 Click2Shell fixes — sites that already updated to 7.1.1 still need 7.1.2. WordPress rates it critical and recommends updating immediately; automatic background updates will pull it where enabled.
