  • Sep 25, 2026Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler: Authorization bypassCVE-2026-92829 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.3

    The Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 9.1.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to view, modify, or delete other users' Blog2Social records, including disclosing another user's network authentication IDs and scheduled post content, overwriting Open Graph and Twitter Card post metadata on posts they do not own, rebinding another user's social-network authorization, and mass-hiding all users' scheduled posts sitewide. The plugin's b2s_security_nonce is emitted on the post-edit meta box, which Contributors can render, making the nonce available to any authenticated user at that role level or above.

    The JetFormBuilder — Dynamic Blocks Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via 'jfb_xss' (URL Query Variable) Parameter via Calculated Field in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.5.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Exploitation requires the targeted page to host a form configured with both a URL Query Variable preset field and a Calculated Field that references it, which are standard plugin features.

  • Sep 25, 2026AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages: Stored Cross-Site ScriptingCVE-2026-83591 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.2

    The AMP for WP – Accelerated Mobile Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content via Regex Transformation in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.16 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 crafted payload uses only WordPress-permitted comment tags and attributes (an anchor with href and title), and the AMP sanitizer pipeline omits javascript: protocol blocking, meaning neither the comment save filter nor the AMP output stage removes the malicious URI introduced by the transformation.

  • Sep 25, 2026Automation Web Platform – Notifications and OTP for WooCommerce, Advanced Country Code: Privilege EscalationCVE-2026-14281 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Automation Web Platform – Notifications and OTP for WooCommerce, Advanced Country Code plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.6. This is due to missing permission enforcement on the publicly accessible REST route `POST /wp-json/wawp/v1/signup/<op>` and the absence of a key allowlist in the `finish_registration_logic` function, which copies the attacker-controlled `wawp_custom_fields` parameter directly into `update_user_meta()` — allowing sensitive meta keys such as `wp_capabilities` and `wp_user_level` to be set by the caller. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register a new account with the administrator role and gain full administrative access to the site. When OTP verification is enabled at signup, the OTP session token (`otp_transient`) is returned in plaintext in the HTTP response body, and the `handle_magic_link_request()` handler marks that token as verified on any unauthenticated GET request containing it without ever checking the OTP code value — making the OTP step trivially bypassable with no inbox or SMS access required.

    The Spectra Legacy – Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.20.0 via the editor_assets function, which exposes the uag_insta_linked_accounts option through the uagb_blocks_info object without a capability check. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to extract sensitive data including raw Instagram Graph API access tokens configured by an administrator. Exploitation requires the Spectra Pro plugin to be active with a linked Instagram account.

    The Visual Composer Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 45.16.0 via the `vcv-template` parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.

  • Sep 23, 2026Paytium: Mollie payment forms & donations: Privilege EscalationCVE-2026-18467 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Paytium: Mollie payment forms & donations plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.3. The 5.0.3 patch introduced a wp_hash()/hash_equals() signature gate on the pt-paytium-user-data field, but left a second filter — pt_cf_checkout_meta(), registered on the pt_meta_values hook after the signed builder — that copies every $_POST['pt_form_field'][*] key verbatim into the payment meta array without any signature verification; this allows the pt-user-role value it copies to overwrite the signed path's output, after which paytium_user_data_processing() reads the persisted _pt-user-role post meta and passes it directly as the role argument to wp_insert_user(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register a new WordPress account with the administrator role and fully take over the site. Exploitation requires submitting a payment through a publicly-exposed [paytium] shortcode form and completing the resulting payment flow, after which the attacker can seize the new administrator account via the standard lost-password flow on their supplied email address.

  • Sep 23, 2026Import and export users and customers: Privilege EscalationCVE-2026-86583 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 8.8

    The Import and export users and customers plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.17 via the plugin's own export and re-import workflow. The vulnerability exists because the exporter writes CSV cells using fputcsv() with a NUL byte (\0) as the escape character, while the importer parses the same file using SplFileObject::fgetcsv() with only a single delimiter argument, causing PHP's default backslash escape character to be applied instead; because the export column layout places display_name immediately before the role column and nickname immediately after, an attacker can store crafted values in those two profile fields — saved by WordPress core via the standard profile page — such that the escape mismatch causes the parser to merge the display_name cell into the role field and rebalance the column count via nickname, yielding administrator as the parsed role for their own row when it reaches the import_user function's add_role function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or above to escalate their privileges to Administrator. Exploitation requires a site administrator to trig

    The WP Travel Engine – Tour Booking Plugin – Tour Operator Software plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 6.8.0 via the wte_get_template function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files.

    The WPC Product Bundles for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'qty' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 8.6.6 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 float cast used during quantity validation allows a numeric-prefixed payload such as '1<img src=x onerror=...>' to pass validation while retaining its malicious HTML, which is then stored verbatim in order item metadata under the '_woosb_ids' key.

    The HUSKY – Products Filter for WooCommerce Professional plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.4 via the 'shortcode' parameter parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary .php files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where .php file types can be uploaded and included. This vulnerability is exploitable by unauthenticated users because the only access control is a nonce check against woof_front_nonce, which is publicly emitted into inline JavaScript on every front-end page and is therefore obtainable by any site visitor without authentication.

  • Sep 22, 2026WP Table Builder – Drag & Drop Table Builder: Incorrect AuthorizationCVE-2026-6922 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceHigh 7.1

    The WP Table Builder – Drag & Drop Table Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. This is due to an operator precedence bug in the post-type guard within the trash_table_bulk() and restore_table_bulk() functions that causes the guard to never fire, combined with a permission callback that only verifies plugin role membership without per-post-type or ownership checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to trash or restore any post, page, or custom post type on the site by supplying arbitrary post IDs.

    The RW Elephant Rental Inventory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to and including 2.3.13. This is due to a missing capability check on the toggle_cache() function which is hooked to the wp_ajax_toggle_cache AJAX action. The function also lacks nonce verification. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to toggle the plugin's cache setting on or off by sending a POST request to admin-ajax.

  • Sep 22, 2026Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution: Insecure Direct Object ReferenceCVE-2026-18439 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceMedium 4.3

    The Tutor LMS – eLearning and online course solution plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 4.0.7 via the tutor_quiz_builder_save AJAX action due to missing validation that nested question_id, answer_id, deleted_question_ids[], and deleted_answer_ids[] values in the submitted payload belong to a quiz/topic/course the requester is authorized to manage. The handler only validates the top-level course_id, topic_id, and (when supplied) payload['ID'], but the nested identifiers are passed straight into $wpdb->update/DELETE statements in QuizBuilder::save_questions(), QuizBuilder::save_question_answers(), and QuizBuilder::handle_delete(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Instructor-level access and above, to overwrite the content and re-parent arbitrary quiz questions/answers belonging to other instructors or administrators, and to delete arbitrary quiz question and answer rows.
