CVE-2026-78159
The The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 6.17.3 via the parse_array function. This is due to insufficient validation of the widget 'classes' map, allowing a plain-array payload to bypass the is_safe_widget_instance() object check and reach the callable-invocation sink in Element_Classes::parse_array(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. Exploitation requires that the targeted site has comments enabled on tribe_events posts and that at least one comment containing a crafted wp:legacy-widget block has been submitted, as the attack chain is triggered when do_blocks() processes the single-event HTML including the comment area.

CVE-2026-78006
The The Events Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 6.17.4 via the is_safe_widget_instance function. This is due to insufficient protection in is_safe_widget_instance, which can be bypassed because PHP fires magic methods during its pre-parse, combined with enable_rendering_widget_copied() forging a valid wp_hash integrity attribute before unserialize() is reached. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. This is exploitable without authentication or approval because the plugin's V2 single-event template runs do_blocks() over buffered comment HTML, and WordPress returns a moderation-hash URL that allows an unauthenticated commenter to immediately view their own pending comment, delivering the injected block markup to the vulnerable code path before any moderation occurs. This does require comments to be enabled and visible on events.

CVE-2026-85681
The WP Component WordPress plugin through 2.2.4 does not have any capability or nonce checks on one of the actions it makes available to unauthenticated users, and it takes both the option name and the option value from the request, allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite any of the site's options. On a single site installation this leads to a full takeover, as registration can be enabled with a default role of administrator.

CVE-2026-82845
The Masteriyo LMS WordPress plugin before 3.4.1 does not prevent user-supplied values held as metadata from being deserialized when they are read back, allowing users with a minimal account to inject arbitrary PHP objects and, by way of a class shipped in a library bundled with the Masteriyo LMS WordPress plugin before 3.4.1, write and execute arbitrary code on the server. A weaker form of the same issue is reachable without an account and yields an arbitrary file write rather than code execution.

The DS Ad Rotator WordPress plugin through 0.8 does not perform any capability check, nonce verification, or file-type validation on its image upload handler, allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files, including PHP, to a web-accessible directory, which can lead to remote code execution.
