Remote Code Execution in Quick Playground WordPress Plugin

Publication date: 2026-04-09

Last updated on: 2026-04-09

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
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.

Executive Summary

The Quick Playground plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows remote code execution. This happens because the plugin does not properly check authorization on its REST API endpoints. These endpoints expose a sync code and permit arbitrary file uploads. An attacker who is not authenticated can obtain the sync code, upload malicious PHP files using path traversal techniques, and execute code remotely on the server.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can have severe impacts because it allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on your server without any authentication. This can lead to full compromise of the server, including data theft, data loss, defacement, or using the server as a launch point for further attacks.
