The Hummingbird plugin for WordPress, versions up to and including 3.21.0, is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to a flaw in the log_msg() function. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary PHP code into a web-accessible log file (wp-content/wphb-logs/page-caching-log.php) without proper sanitization. Exploitation requires the Page Caching with Debug Log option to be enabled, which is not the default setting. The vulnerability arises from a namespace resolution issue that omits a protective header, permitting attackers to execute crafted cookies. The CVE-2026-83627 has been assigned a critical CVSS score of 9.8. Currently, there is no public proof-of-concept or confirmed exploitation reported. Users are advised to update the plugin or disable the vulnerable feature immediately. The vulnerability was disclosed on September 5, 2026.
