AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Shop Manager role is required (PR:H) via the network-facing admin UI with no user interaction; code injection yields server RCE beyond the app, so S:C and full C/I/A:H.

Shop manager Remote Code Execution (RCE) in CTX Feed <= 6.6.42 versions.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in the CTX Feed (WebAppick Product Feed for WooCommerce) WordPress plugin through version 6.6.42 allows a user holding the Shop Manager role to inject and execute arbitrary code (CWE-94) on the underlying server. The CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1 reflects a scope change where WooCommerce-level access translates into full host compromise. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS or KEV data was provided.
Technical ContextAI
CTX Feed is a widely used WooCommerce product-feed generator plugin (vendor CPE cpe:2.3:a:webappick:ctx_feed) that builds merchant feeds for Google Shopping, Facebook, and similar channels. The root cause is classified as CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code / Code Injection), meaning attacker-influenced input reaches a code-evaluation or template-generation sink without adequate sanitization, letting a privileged store operator turn feed configuration into executable PHP on the host. Because the plugin runs inside the WordPress/PHP process, successful injection yields code execution with the privileges of the web server user.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; the advisory only confirms that versions <= 6.6.42 are vulnerable, so administrators should monitor the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/webappick-product-feed-for-woocommerce/vulnerability/wordpress-ctx-feed-plugin-6-6-42-remote-code-execution-rce-vulnerability) and the WordPress.org plugin page and upgrade to the first release above 6.6.42 as soon as it is published. As compensating controls until then, restrict the Shop Manager role to a minimal set of fully trusted accounts and enforce strong authentication (2FA) on them, since exploitation depends on that privilege; audit existing shop-manager users for unexpected accounts; and place the wp-admin CTX Feed configuration screens behind IP allow-listing or a WAF rule blocking suspicious feed-template payloads - noting that WAF filtering of code-injection patterns is imperfect and IP restriction can hinder legitimate remote store managers. Consider temporarily deactivating the plugin if feeds are not business-critical, which fully removes the exposure at the cost of feed generation.
