    The Geliver Akıllı Kargo Pazaryeri WordPress plugin before 3.1.1 does not prevent unauthenticated access to a log file it stores within its own web-accessible directory, into which it writes the site's carrier integration key while processing requests from unauthenticated users, allowing attackers to retrieve the key and use it to modify WooCommerce order statuses.

    The File Uploads Addon for WooCommerce WordPress plugin through 1.7.6 stores customer-uploaded files in a publicly web-accessible uploads directory and the access restriction it generates is ineffective, so an unauthenticated attacker who knows or guesses a file's name can retrieve customer-uploaded files directly, bypassing the File Uploads Addon for WooCommerce WordPress plugin through 1.7.6's authenticated download mechanism.

  • Oct 3, 2026GeoDirectory: SQL InjectionCVE-2026-103913 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.5

    The GeoDirectory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the stored latitude/longitude coordinates of a listing in versions up to, and including, 2.8.186. This is due to insufficient escaping and the absence of numeric validation on coordinate values when a listing is saved, combined with the direct string interpolation of those values into a distance sub-expression in geodir_gps_query_part() that is later executed by the public wp_ajax_nopriv_geodir_widget_listings handler when a caller supplies set_post=<pending-listing-id> and sort_by=distance_asc. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

  • Oct 2, 2026Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-96270 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'form_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.13.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected payload is stored in the registering user's 'submitted' usermeta via update_user_meta() and is only triggered when an administrator opens the affected user record in the wp-admin Users modal, which inserts the unescaped output via jQuery .html().

    The Ultimate Member – User Profile, Registration, Login, Member Directory, Content Restriction & Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.13.1 This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view privacy-restricted member profile field values — including fields explicitly configured as owner-only, members-only, or role-restricted — by querying the publicly accessible wp_ajax_nopriv_um_get_members endpoint. The nonce required by the endpoint ('um-frontend-nonce') is emitted to all unauthenticated visitors via wp_localize_script, meaning it provides no meaningful access control and any anonymous visitor can satisfy the endpoint's authentication requirements.

    The Listdom: AI-powered Business Directory with Classifieds Ads Listings plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'lsd[remark]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is exploitable by Subscriber-level users because the listing-creation branch of the AJAX handler omits a capability check, and the required nonce is publicly emitted on any page containing the [listdom-dashboard] shortcode.

  • Oct 2, 2026Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder: Directory TraversalCVE-2026-15896 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.1

    The Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.316 via the parse_request function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. The optional 'file_upload_auth' setting defaults to empty, meaning no authentication is required in the default configuration; enabling this setting mitigates unauthenticated exploitation but does not remediate the path traversal itself. Exploitation on Linux requires a real 13-digit timestamp directory to exist, whereas on Windows the traversal works with any hardcoded 13-digit prefix. However, the plugin's file upload response returns the name of the created directory, which means the vulnerability is exploitable as long as file upload is enabled on the form.

  • Oct 1, 2026Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder: Arbitrary File/Directory DeletionCVE-2026-15983 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.1

    The Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File/Directory Deletion in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.316. This is due to the `super_save_form` AJAX handler performing no capability check — allowing Subscriber-level authenticated users to create or modify Super Forms and enable the `file_upload_submission_delete` setting — combined with the `super_submit_form` handler's `submit_form` function passing the attacker-controlled `files[].subdir` value from `$_POST['data']` directly into `SUPER_Common::delete_dir()` without sanitization, and a trivially bypassed `ABSPATH` guard that a `subdir` value of `wp-config.php` defeats because `dirname(realpath(ABSPATH . $subdir))` resolves to the WordPress root while the naive `ABSPATH !== $dir` string check fails to match due to a trailing-slash mismatch. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to recursively delete arbitrary files and directories on the server, up to and including the entire WordPress installation, resulting in full site takedown and potential remote code execution if critical files such as `wp-config.php` are removed and

  • Sep 22, 2026Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce – CTX Feed – Support 220+ Shopping & Social Channels: Directory TraversalCVE-2026-15095 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.9

    The Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce – CTX Feed – Support 220+ Shopping & Social Channels plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.6.43 via the 'provider' parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with shop manager-level access and above, to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can lead to remote code execution when critical files are deleted. Exploitation requires two sequential REST API calls: first to /wp-json/ctxfeed/v1/make_feed/save_feed_config to persist the traversal payload in wp_options, then to /wp-json/ctxfeed/v1/manage_feeds/delete_feed to trigger the unlink(); deletion is further constrained to files whose extensions match the plugin's validated whitelist (csv, xml, tsv, xls, xlsx, json, txt).
