CISA’s description.

WordPress WordPress Core contains a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability that could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server during the upgrade window. This is due to predictable, web-accessible staging paths used during full-package core upgrades.

Every flaw CISA confirmed exploited in the last 30 days is on the exploit watch. This is not security advice. Check the vendor’s advisory before acting. From CISA’s catalog of 4 November 2026.
