Critical wp2shell WordPress flaws exploited to install webshells

Attackers are actively exploiting two critical vulnerabilities in WordPress Core, tracked as CVE-2026-63030 and CVE-2026-60137, to deploy webshells and malicious plugins on compromised servers. The flaws in the wp2shell vulnerability suite allow persistent remote access and malicious code installation.

Why it matters: WordPress site operators need to patch immediately, as these actively exploited critical flaws enable attackers to establish persistent backdoors and deploy malware that survives plugin updates.
