  • Sep 30, 2026Connections Business Directory: Does not apply its visibility and moderation-status restrictions on certain REST API read endpointsCVE-2026-86789 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WPScanMedium 5.3

    The Connections Business Directory WordPress plugin through 10.4.67 does not apply its visibility and moderation-status restrictions on certain REST API read endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve directory entries that are marked private or unlisted, or that are still pending moderation, including entry names, organizations, biographies, internal notes and street addresses. The Connections Business Directory WordPress plugin through 10.4.67 has been closed on WordPress.org and no fixed version is available, so site owners should remove it or restrict unauthenticated access to its REST API routes.

Where this comes from: the exploited list is CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Everything else is the whole National Vulnerability Database, where each record is published by the team that found the bug (Wordfence, Patchstack, WPScan, the vendors themselves and others); we show who. Exploit odds are FIRST’s EPSS, updated daily. Titles and categories are ours, so check the linked record before acting on a detail. For a write-up of the big ones, see our advisories. Every vendor, and every WordPress plugin and theme with a recorded flaw, also has its own page. All of it is free to reuse as JSON, CSV or RSS.
