CVE-2026-85000: Unknown Embedpress

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The EmbedPress WordPress plugin before 4.6.8 does not perform any capability or nonce check on an unauthenticated request that triggers a server-side, credential-bearing request to a third-party API and stores attacker-controlled cache entries, allowing unauthenticated attackers to consume the site owner's third-party API quota and write unbounded records into the site's database.

Affected products

• Unknown Embedpress: before 4.6.8 (fixed in 4.6.8)
