CVE-2026-104800
CRITICALThe AGE-GATE WordPress plugin allows unauthenticated remote code execution via unsanitized POST parameters in its admin.php endpoint.
An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code on a server by exploiting missing authentication, capability checks, and nonce verification on the AGE-GATE plugin's admin.php endpoint. This is a critical failure for DIB organizations relying on WordPress for web services, as it bypasses standard WordPress protections and requires immediate patching or removal of the plugin. The vulnerability is not a zero-day but a severe, avoidable flaw in plugin development practices.
Shame score — The vulnerability is highly embarrassing because it allows unauthenticated remote code execution through a poorly designed standalone admin endpoint that bypasses WordPress core protections, indicating severe negligence in plugin development and security review.
▸ RECOMMENDED ACTION Remote code execution — patch the affected products on priority.
The AGE-GATE plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 via the 'width (and height)' parameter parameter. This is due to missing authentication, capability checks, and nonce verification on the standalone admin.php endpoint, combined with unsanitized injection of POST parameters directly into generated PHP source written to an included file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. This is possible because admin.php does not load WordPress and carries no ABSPATH guard, making it a fully unauthenticated entry point regardless of the decorative capability arguments registered via the plugin's simulated menu API.
