The Quick Playground plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1. This is due to insufficient authorization checks on REST API endpoints that expose a sync code and allow arbitrary file uploads. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the sync code, upload PHP files with path traversal, and achieve remote code execution on the server.
CVE-2026-1830
Score 9.8 from GitHub Security Advisory (severity: CRITICAL) published 2026-04-09. NVD baseline CVSS 9.8; sources differ by 0.0.
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
