CVE-2026-12685

The EscortWP escortwp WordPress theme through 3.6.2 was distributed with a vendor-authored, obfuscated backdoor that lets an unauthenticated attacker who supplies a hard-coded, per-build key permanently delete all of the site's content, and that covertly transmits the site URL, administrator email address, and license key to a third-party server.
