Known vulnerabilities

14 known CVEs on file for Accelerated Mobile Pages.

CVE-2026-6101

The AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Write in versions up to and including 1.1.12. This is due to unsafe ZIP file extraction in the ampforwp_save_local_font() function combined with inadequate cleanup that fails to remove nested directories and files. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, and permissions granted by an Administrator, to write arbitrary files to the server in a web-accessible location, potentially leading to remote code execution on hosts that execute PHP files in the uploads directory.

CVE-2025-14468

The AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.1.9. This is due to inverted nonce verification logic in the amp_theme_ajaxcomments AJAX handler, which rejects requests with VALID nonces and accepts requests with MISSING or INVALID nonces. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to submit comments on behalf of logged-in users via a forged request granted they can trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link, and the plugin's template mode is enabled.
