TIMELINE Sep 2 Reserved by WPScan Oct 14 EXPLOIT PUBLISHED — CVE-2026-85000 (Unknown EmbedPress). Public exploit reference added. Oct 14 Published (CNA: WPScan)
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.
