AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable, low-complexity code injection needing only a subscriber account (PR:L), yielding RCE that escapes the app to the host (S:C) with full CIA impact.

Subscriber Remote Code Execution (RCE) in Query Wrangler <= 1.5.57 versions.
AnalysisAI
Code injection in the Query Wrangler WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.5.57) lets an authenticated low-privilege user reach remote code execution on the host. Because the CVSS vector requires only PR:L (subscriber-level access) with a scope change and full CIA impact, any site allowing self-registration is exposed to complete server compromise by its lowest-tier accounts. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated account at subscriber level or higher (CVSS PR:L), so the attacker must be able to obtain such an account - trivial on sites with open self-registration, which is the common WordPress default for community/comment features, but a hard blocker on sites that disable registration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Multiple signals point to genuine priority rather than an inflated CVSS number. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker registers or obtains a subscriber-level account on a WordPress site running Query Wrangler <= 1.5.57, then sends a crafted request to the vulnerable plugin endpoint that injects code the application evaluates, achieving remote code execution on the server. Because no user interaction is required and complexity is low, the request can be fully scripted once the account exists; no public exploit code is identified at time of analysis. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data, so a specific 'upgrade to version X' cannot be cited from the input; consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/query-wrangler/vulnerability/wordpress-query-wrangler-plugin-1-5-57-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability) for an updated release and apply it as the primary fix once published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: disable WordPress user self-registration site-wide or immediately deactivate the Query Wrangler plugin to eliminate the attack vector. …
