High CVSS 7.5

CVE-2026-16578

NVD analysis in progress

The Admin Safety Guard — Login Security, Limit Logins, 2FA & Brute Force Protection WordPress plugin before 1.4.0 does not perform any capability check on one of its REST API endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the full list of registered users including their usernames, email addresses, roles, and two-factor authentication enrollment status.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data.
Weakness
The application reveals information an unauthorised user should not see.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
