CVE-2026-84936: Unknown Embedpress

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before 4.6.4 does not have proper authorization on a public review-loading action, allowing unauthenticated users to force the site to make repeated billable third-party API requests using the site's own configured API key, and to create an unbounded number of attacker-controlled rows in the database.

Affected products

• Unknown Embedpress: from 4.6.0, before 4.6.4 (fixed in 4.6.4)
