In 0.1.2b and earlier, an authenticated administrator can set an arbitrary Git repository URL through admin/updater-handler.php and trigger perform_update, which passes the URL to update.sh. The updater clones the repository and replaces the live plugins/, admin/, and includes/ directories without verifying the repository's identity, signatures, or contents. Because router.php permits existing PHP files under plugins to be executed by the PHP development server, attacker-supplied update content can execute arbitrary PHP with the web server process's privileges and persist as a backdoor. This issue is fixed in version 0.1.3b.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"abyssal","depthScore":62,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":50.1,"likelihood":0.1,"exploitation":12,"ransomware":0},"changes":[{"seq":220982,"id":"CVE-2026-55695","ts":1792026951489,"field":"exploit_available","old":"false","new":"true"}]}
