Authenticated PHP execution via code-snippet metabox
Published Dec 29, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Code injection in POSIMYTH Innovations Nexter Extension 2.0.3 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP on the server. The nxt-code-php-snippet metabox accepts attacker-controlled PHP and sends it into the plugin's snippet execution path without neutralizing code syntax. Editor-level access or higher is required, and successful exploitation runs code with the privileges of the WordPress server process.
