Over 440,000 Exploit Attempts Target WordPress Super Forms and Elementor Pro Flaws

Summary
Wordfence reports over 440,000 blocked exploit attempts against unauthenticated file-upload RCE flaws in Super Forms and Elementor Pro. Site owners should patch and check for malicious PHP files.
Key points
- CVE-2026-14894 affects Super Forms and allows unauthenticated arbitrary file uploads, including PHP; it is fixed in version 6.3.314.

- Wordfence reported blocking more than 250,000 attempts against CVE-2026-14894 and more than 190,000 against CVE-2026-32475.
- Super Forms attacks used a POST request to the admin AJAX endpoint and uploaded a PHP web shell named Mushr00w_upl.php.

- Site owners are advised to apply the fixes, scan for indicators of compromise, and check for unexpected or recently modified PHP files.
