CVE-2026-14357DevKit Pro <= 2.3.0 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Theme Installation / Remote Code Execution via 'qqfile' Parameter
High 8.8
In plain English
A high-severity missing authorization in DevKit Pro from dplugins. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.7% (higher than 55% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The DevKit Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 2.3.0. This is due to a missing capability check and missing nonce validation in the DPDEV_install_themes_func() function registered on the wp_ajax_DPDEV_install_themes action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install arbitrary theme ZIP packages containing PHP files that are extracted into the web-accessible wp-content/themes/ directory, which may make remote code execution possible.
