CVE-2026-14249

What is known

The Request a Quote plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Code Injection in versions up to, and including, 2.5.5 via the emd_delete_file AJAX action. This is due to the emd_delete_file() handler deriving a PHP function name from the attacker-controlled $_POST['path'] parameter and invoking it dynamically via the variable-function call $sess_name(), and the handler being registered for wp_ajax_nopriv with its only protection being a nonce that the plugin prints into the public quote-form page via wp_localize_script. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke arbitrary zero-argument PHP functions on the server, such as phpinfo(), potentially exposing sensitive server configuration and credentials, or executing other destructive built-in PHP functions.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-14249, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
