🚨 HACKERS EXPLOIT NINJA FORMS AND WPC PRODUCT BUNDLES XSS FLAWS TO PLANT HIDDEN WORDPRESS ADMINS Patchstack reports an active campaign abusing two stored XSS bugs in unrelated WordPress plugins, both delivering the same JavaScript payload from imgcdn1[.]com. • CVE-2026-94504: Ninja Forms ≤ 3.15.3 (500K+ installs), fixed in 3.15.4 • CVE-2026-93836: WPC Product Bundles for WooCommerce ≤ 8.6.6 (30K+ installs), fixed in 8.6.7 • Both rated CVSS 7.1; the payload is injected without login and fires when an admin views the poisoned submission or order • It installs a fake "WP Smart Thumbnails" plugin, creates a visible admin plus one hidden from the Users screen, adds a secret login URL and an unauthenticated file manager • First seen Oct 4 (WPC) and Oct 5 (Ninja Forms) ⚠️ Analyst Note: Patchstack says exploitation is limited so far, and neither CVE is in CISA KEV at handoff. Updating stops new infections but does not remove an existing one: check for unknown admins, must-use plugins and the fake thumbnail plugin.
