But now has been assigned CVE-2026-63030. Many WordPress plugin vulnerabilities are never assigned CVE numbers. But wp2shell is different. It is a SQL injection vulnerability in WordPress Core, not a plugin, and can lead to unauthenticated remote code execution. Shortly after being announced, the vulnerability started to be exploited.
