CVE-2026-27938
February 26, 2026
WPGraphQL provides a GraphQL API for WordPress sites. Prior to version 2.9.1, the "wp-graphql/wp-graphql" repository contains a GitHub Actions workflow ("release.yml") vulnerable to OS command injection through direct use of "${{ github.event.pull_request.body }}" inside a "run:" shell block. When a pull request from "develop" to "master" is merged, the PR body is injected verbatim into a shell command, allowing arbitrary command execution on the Actions runner. Version 2.9.1 contains a fix for the vulnerability.
