CVE-2026-45293
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
WordPress Coding Standards is a set of PHP_CodeSniffer rules (sniffs) that enforce WordPress coding conventions. From 0.14.1 until 3.4.1, the WordPress.WP.EnqueuedResourceParameters sniff (active in the WordPress and WordPress-Extra rulesets) reconstructed the $ver argument passed to functions such as wp_enqueue_script() and ran it through eval() inside its is_falsy() method, so a maliciously crafted argument such as 'system'('id') would execute during a scan; as a result, running PHPCS with WordPressCS over untrusted PHP (for example a CI pipeline that lints pull requests, or a developer reviewing third-party code) could lead to arbitrary command execution on the scanning host. The WordPress-Core and WordPress-Docs rulesets are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.1.

"value": "WordPress Coding Standards es un conjunto de reglas de PHP_CodeSniffer (sniffs) que aplican las convenciones de codificación de WordPress. Desde la versión 0.14.1 hasta la 3.4.1, el sniff WordPress.WP.EnqueuedResourceParameters (activo en los conjuntos de reglas WordPress y WordPress-Extra) reconstruía el argumento $ver pasado a funciones como wp_enqueue_script() y lo ejecutaba a través de eval() dentro de su método is_falsy(), por lo que un argumento creado maliciosamente como ’system’(’id’) se ejecutaría durante un escaneo; como resultado, ejecutar PHPCS con WordPressCS sobre PHP no confiable (por ejemplo, una pipeline de CI que analiza solicitudes de extracción, o un desarrollador revisando código de terceros) podría llevar a la ejecución arbitraria de comandos en el host de escaneo. Los conjuntos de reglas WordPress-Core y WordPress-Docs no se ven afectados. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 3.4.1."
