CVE-2026-0926
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Prodigy Commerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.0 via the 'parameters[template_name]' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and read arbitrary files or execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Prodigy Commerce WordPress plugin (versions up to 3.3.0) contains a Local File Inclusion vulnerability in the 'parameters[template_name]' parameter. Unauthenticated attackers can include arbitrary files from the server filesystem and execute embedded PHP code, leading to complete system compromise including remote code execution, data exfiltration, and access control bypass.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Prodigy Commerce plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Prodigy Commerce' in the list, or check the filesystem at /wp-content/plugins/ for a prodigy-commerce or similar directoryAffected if The Prodigy Commerce plugin is found in the WordPress installation
-
Check installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin Plugins list, click on the Prodigy Commerce plugin to view its details and version number, or inspect the main plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/ for the 'Version' fieldAffected if The installed version is 3.3.0 or lower (any version up to and including 3.3.0)
-
Confirm vulnerable parameter exposureIdentify the plugin's PHP files that handle the 'template_name' parameter, typically in request handlers or template routing code. Search the plugin directory for 'parameters[template_name]' or 'template_name' in $_GET/$_POST request handling codeAffected if The plugin code processes the template_name parameter without proper sanitization in include/require statements
-
Review access logs for exploitation attemptsExamine web server access logs (Apache error.log, access.log or Nginx access.log) for requests containing 'parameters[template_name]' or '../' path traversal sequences targeting the plugin endpointAffected if Logs contain requests to the plugin with path traversal patterns like '../' or references to the template_name parameter
You are affected if the Prodigy Commerce plugin is installed and its version is 3.3.0 or lower, and the vulnerable template_name parameter handling code is present and accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the Prodigy Commerce plugin to a version beyond 3.3.0 when available. If no patched version exists, disable the plugin immediately. Additionally, disable PHP execution in upload directories and review server access logs for signs of exploitation.
Version newer than 3.3.0 (check WordPress plugin repository for latest release)
- Check the WordPress plugin repository for Prodigy Commerce to identify if a version newer than 3.3.0 has been released
- If a newer version exists, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins in the WordPress admin dashboard
- Deactivate the current Prodigy Commerce plugin
- Update the plugin to the latest available version
- Verify the update was successful by confirming the new version number in the plugins list
- Test critical e-commerce functionality to ensure the update did not break existing features
