CVE-2026-9009

What is known

The Crawlomatic Multipage Scraper Post Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.2 via the filter_content function. This is due to passing the attacker-supplied 'callback_raw' shortcode attribute directly into call_user_func() with no sanitization or allowlist validation, relying solely on an is_callable() check that permits dangerous PHP built-ins such as system, shell_exec, exec, passthru, and assert. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to execute code on the server. An identical sink exists for the 'callback' attribute, providing a second independent vector through the same shortcode.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-9009, a high vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) 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.
