CVE-2026-12242Network attack vector

Authenticated PHP code execution via shortcode attribute

Published Jun 24, 2026 · Updated Jun 24, 2026

PHP code injection in Arnan de Gans AdRotate Banner Manager 5.17.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute PHP code. The adrotate shortcode handler concatenates its unsanitized banner attribute into PHP code enclosed by W3 Total Cache mfunc or Borlabs Cache fragment markers. Contributor-level access is required, and the vulnerable path is reachable only when either cache integration is enabled; injected PHP executes on the server.
