High CVSS 7.2

CVE-2026-16605

NVD analysis in progress

The MultiVendorX WordPress plugin before 5.0.11 does not verify that the store targeted through its REST API belongs to the requesting vendor, allowing an authenticated vendor (Store Owner and above) to view, take over, permanently delete, or modify any other vendor's store on the marketplace.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, with a privileged account and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
No authorisation check happens before the action.
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.

Read automatically from the CVSS vector, the weakness type (CWE) and the EPSS score. The technical description above remains the one published by NIST.
