    Date: 10/28/2026

    Severity: Medium       

    Summary

    Threat actors are actively exploiting CVE-2026-102785, an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability affecting YOOtheme Pro versions 5.0.0–5.0.52 used with WordPress and Joomla. Attackers use automated scanning to deploy JPEG/PHP polyglot webshells in the WordPress uploads directory, enabling remote command execution and file uploads. Follow-on activity included deploying an ALFA Team webshell, attempting to install the GSocket remote access tool, and downloading additional payloads, with traffic routed through Indonesian residential proxy networks. Organizations should upgrade to YOOtheme Pro 5.0.53 or later and inspect upload directories and server logs for suspicious webshells and commands.
