Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This affects WordPress sites using Wow-Company Calculator Builder up to version 1.6.2. The flaw can let an attacker influence PHP file inclusion, potentially exposing or altering sensitive server data. The listed CVSS score is high, but exploitation requires user interaction and has high attack complexity.
Executive priority
Treat this as a high-priority WordPress plugin risk where the plugin is present. Focus on fast asset identification, removal or upgrade, and confirmation of vendor guidance. It is not supported by the provided sources as known actively exploited.
Technical view
CVE-2025-26760 is a CWE-98 file inclusion issue in the Calculator Builder WordPress plugin. The source describes improper filename control in PHP include/require handling, resulting in local file inclusion. CVSS 3.1 is 7.5 with network attack vector, no privileges required, user interaction required, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to WordPress environments where the calculator-builder plugin from Wow-Company is installed at version 1.6.2 or earlier. The bundle does not identify other affected products or hosting platforms.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided bundle, and no cited source states active exploitation. The scoring indicates remote reachability but high complexity and required user interaction, so prioritize remediation without assuming mass exploitation.
Researcher notes
The source bundle has enough detail to identify the affected plugin and vulnerability class, but it does not include proof-of-concept details, exploit telemetry, or a named fixed version. The affected version metadata is inconsistent, so rely on the textual <= 1.6.2 range and vendor advisory checks.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the calculator-builder plugin.
- Upgrade or remove Calculator Builder if version is 1.6.2 or earlier.
- Check vendor, WordPress plugin, and Patchstack guidance for fixed versions.
- Restrict administrative access and plugin changes to trusted users.
- Review web server and WordPress logs for suspicious file inclusion errors.
Validation and detection
- Confirm installed plugin name and version on each WordPress site.
- Compare findings against the CVE and Patchstack advisory.
- Verify whether a fixed release or vendor mitigation exists.
- Confirm removed or upgraded plugins are no longer exposed.
- Document any sites still running vulnerable versions and owners.

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion')
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
