Exploitation Conditions

Requires the YAHMAN Add-ons plugin (version before 0.9.31) installed AND its remote-file caching feature explicitly enabled - the description states 'when the relevant feature is enabled,' making this a non-default configuration prerequisite. The caching directory must be publicly accessible (default plugin behavior per the advisory) and the attacker must be able to reach the cache-triggering endpoint. Limiting factors: exploitation is unauthenticated (PR:N) and needs no user interaction (UI:N), but the feature-enablement gate plus AC:H complexity meaningfully narrow the realistically-exploitable population; the product's obscurity further limits opportunistic attacks.

Impact

CVSS 9.0 (CRITICAL) reflects an unauthenticated network-reachable RCE with full C:H/I:H/A:H and scope change (S:C). However, two signals temper the raw score: AC:H indicates non-trivial attack complexity, and the description explicitly gates exploitation on 'when the relevant feature is enabled' - a non-default configuration dependency the CVSS vector does not otherwise capture. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so there is no evidence of active or automated exploitation - the risk is currently theoretical rather than observed. The affected product is an obscure WordPress plugin (YAHMAN Add-ons), so real-world attack surface is narrow despite the WordPress ecosystem's ubiquity. Note also a defensible scope disagreement: WPScan assigned S:C, but arbitrary PHP written and executed within the web server's own security authority is arguably S:U, which would lower the score to roughly 8.1. Net: a genuine unauth-RCE class bug that warrants prompt patching where the plugin AND its caching feature are in use, but the low deployment footprint and feature-gating make it a targeted rather than mass-exploitation concern.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running YAHMAN Add-ons (<0.9.31) with the remote-file caching feature enabled, then supplies a remote URL pointing to malicious PHP. Because the plugin does not validate the cached file's type and stores it in a publicly accessible directory, the attacker's PHP webshell lands on disk and is directly requestable, yielding remote code execution in the web server context. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and the AC:H rating implies some conditions (feature enabled, correct cache path/predictable location) must align.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 23, 2026

Unauthenticated remote code execution in the YAHMAN Add-ons WordPress plugin affects all versions before 0.9.31 when the plugin's remote-file caching feature is explicitly enabled. The plugin stores remotely fetched files in a publicly accessible cache directory without validating their type, so an attacker can plant arbitrary PHP content there and have the web server execute it, yielding code execution with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 9.0, CRITICAL; AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N). Exploitation is unauthenticated and requires no user interaction, but it is gated by the non-default cache feature and rated high complexity (AC:H), and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis. There is no confirmed active exploitation (no CISA KEV listing).

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: 0.9.31, the first version outside the affected range - upgrade the YAHMAN Add-ons plugin to 0.9.31 or later via the WordPress plugin updater or from the vendor's distribution channel, and confirm the update applied (WPScan advisory: https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/b12397e7-5d9b-42bf-bd31-5d3401bc4600/; NVD: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-75799). If the update cannot be applied immediately, disable the plugin's remote-file caching feature outright - this removes the attack surface entirely but also removes the functionality that depends on the cache, and if the plugin cannot be updated or reconfigured, deactivate it. As a compensating control, block execution of PHP (and other script handlers) inside the plugin's cache directory and restrict direct HTTP access to that path via web-server configuration; the trade-off is that cached assets served from that directory may stop loading and legitimate plugins relying on it could misbehave. Because exploitation requires a reachable cache-write endpoint, front-end WAF rules or request filtering for the remote-fetch/cache trigger path, plus outbound-request restrictions that stop the server from fetching untrusted remote URLs, reduce exposure without patching - at the cost of breaking legitimate remote-asset caching and potentially other outbound integrations.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The issue is a classic CWE-94 code-injection pattern in the WordPress plugin ecosystem. YAHMAN Add-ons implements a remote-file caching mechanism that fetches files from attacker-controllable or attacker-supplied remote locations and writes them to disk inside a directory that is directly reachable over HTTP. Because the plugin does not validate the file type or extension before persisting the content, a crafted response can be stored as a .php file rather than a benign asset. When a request subsequently reaches that file, the PHP interpreter executes it in the context of the WordPress web server, converting a file-write primitive into remote code execution. No CPE mapping or specific vulnerable code path was supplied by the sources; the affected component is the plugin's remote-file cache feature, and the primary reference is the WPScan vulnerability entry (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/b12397e7-5d9b-42bf-bd31-5d3401bc4600/), cross-listed under ENISA EUVD-2026-85024.

DescriptionCVE.org

The YAHMAN Add-ons WordPress plugin before 0.9.31 does not validate the type of the remote files it caches in a publicly accessible directory, allowing unauthenticated attackers to write arbitrary PHP files on the server and achieve RCE when the relevant feature is enabled.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical remote code execution flaw in the YAHMAN Add-ons plugin for WordPress allows an unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary code on any site running a version before 0.9.31 when the plugin's optional remote-file caching feature is switched on. Successful exploitation would give an outside attacker full control of the affected web server, exposing customer data, defacing sites, and enabling the host to be used as a launch point for further attacks. Because this is internet-facing third-party software, leadership should treat it as a supply-chain exposure across every business unit or agency site that uses the plugin rather than a single-system issue.

Attack Technique

Code Injection CRITICAL

Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
