Last modified
CVE-2026-3844 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The Breeze Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the 'fetch_gravatar_from_remote' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.4.
