What is CVE-2026-92084?

The Beaver Builder Page Builder plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that permits unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. This flaw arises from insufficient validation of values prior to processing do_shortcode, notably within pages that leverage the Sidebar module. Attackers can exploit this by embedding their own text in a widget, which can lead to the execution of unauthorized commands if comment moderation settings are improperly configured.

Affected Version(s)

Beaver Builder Page Builder – Drag and Drop Website Builder 0 <= 2.11.0.5

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
