CVE-2026-3300: unauthenticated code execution in Everest Forms Pro exploited since April to create rogue WordPress administrators, fixed in March

CVE-2026-3300 (CVSS 9.8) is an unauthenticated remote code execution flaw in Everest Forms Pro, a commercial WordPress plugin with about 4,000 active installations, which Wordfence disclosed on 2026-03-30 after the vendor shipped the fix on 2026-03-18 (Wordfence, 2026-06-03). Attacker input reaches PHP evaluation through the plugin's calculation feature; the most common payload Wordfence sees closes a string literal and calls wp_insert_user() to create an administrator account (Wordfence, 2026-06-03). Attacks began on 2026-04-13 and peaked on 2026-05-16, when Wordfence blocked more than 17,900 attempts (Wordfence, 2026-06-03); The Hacker News and BleepingComputer reported the campaign in early June (The Hacker News, 2026-06-05) (BleepingComputer, 2026-06-06).

attackers started actively targeting this vulnerability on April 13th, 2026, with mass exploitation occurring on May 16th, 2026

Wordfence published its exploitation report on 2026-06-03 and dates the peak to 2026-05-16, with more than 17,900 attempts blocked that day (Wordfence, 2026-06-03). The plugin has about 4,000 active installations, and no source names public-sector victims.
