WordPress 7.0.4 is out — and every site we manage is already on it.

This one's serious: it patches an authenticated remote code ex*****on flaw. In plain terms, a logged-in Author-level user on a vulnerable site could upload a crafted file and run their own code on the server. If your site allows contributor or author registration — membership sites, multi-author blogs, communities — that's your exposure. The fix reaches back nearly a decade of WordPress versions.

Here's the part worth sitting with: the flaw was found by an AI security firm (pwn.ai)—the second WordPress release in a row where AI surfaced a critical bug. The same models attackers can point at your site are now finding and weaponizing vulnerabilities in hours, not weeks. The old "we'll patch at the next maintenance window" approach was built for a slower world.

That's the whole point of managed care: your site is patched, monitored, and backed up before most people have even read the release notes.

🚨 Heads-up for anyone running BDThemes Elementor add-ons (Element Pack, Prime Slider, and the rest): Wordfence has disclosed a supply-chain compromise in the BDThemes ecosystem, delivered through a poisoned API response.

⚠️ The important part — this isn't a "you forgot to update" problem. A manipulated response from the vendor's own service can reach fully updated sites. If you use these plugins, review Wordfence's advisory, scan your site, and check for unfamiliar admin accounts.

🚨 Remember that critical WordPress security update we warned you about last week? Here’s why it was such a big deal.

Security researchers have dubbed the flaw "wp2shell"—marking the first critical, unauthenticated WordPress Core Remote Code Ex*****on (RCE) vulnerability in nearly a decade.

What does that mean in plain English?

Without needing a username or password, attackers could execute unauthorized code and potentially gain complete control of an unpatched website.

wp2shell is a critical unauthenticated RCE chain in WordPress Core, patched July 17, 2026. See who's affected, the exploitation timeline, and what to do now.

Yesterday, we shared an update about two recently disclosed WordPress vulnerabilities—one rated critical and the other high severity—that could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access and remotely execute code on vulnerable websites.

Wordfence has published a detailed breakdown of how these vulnerabilities can be chained together and exploited. You can read their full analysis here:

On July 17, 2026, the WordPress Security Team released updates to WordPress core addressing two security vulnerabilities. The first is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-60137, while the second can be chained with the SQL injection to increase its impact to unauthe...

⚠️ Critical WordPress Security Update

WordPress released an urgent security update on July 17 addressing two serious vulnerabilities within WordPress Core:

🔴 A critical remote code ex*****on vulnerability rated 9.8 out of 10, which could potentially allow an attacker to execute unauthorized code on an affected server.

🟠 A high-severity SQL injection vulnerability rated 7.5 out of 10, which could potentially allow an unauthenticated attacker to access sensitive information from a website’s database.

Affected websites should be updated immediately to an appropriate patched release:

• WordPress 7.0.2 or newer
• WordPress 6.9.5 or newer
• WordPress 6.8.6 or newer

Website owners should also verify that the update completed successfully, test important website functionality, maintain a current backup, and continue monitoring the site for unusual activity.

For Kingswood Digital clients, this is already being handled.

We promptly reviewed our managed websites, identified those requiring action, and deployed the appropriate security updates. Our clients did not have to discover the vulnerability, determine whether they were affected, or navigate the update process themselves.

That is the value of proactive website management: critical maintenance happens when it is needed—not weeks or months later when something breaks.
