Easy PHP Settings Plugin for WordPress Allows Harmful Code Execution
CVE-2026-3352
Summary
The Easy PHP Settings plugin for WordPress allows attackers to inject and execute malicious code on your website if they have Administrator-level access. This is because the plugin doesn't properly check user input, allowing them to modify a key file that runs on every page load. To fix this, update the plugin to a version later than 1.0.4.

Original description
The Easy PHP Settings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Code Injection in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4 via the `update_wp_memory_constants()` method. This is due to insufficient input validation on the `wp_memory_limit` and `wp_max_memory_limit` settings before writing them to `wp-config.php`. The `sanitize_text_field()` function used for sanitization does not filter single quotes, allowing an attacker to break out of the string context in a PHP `define()` statement. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server by modifying `wp-config.php`, which is loaded on every page request.
