CVE-2026-12144
HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk30th percentile - higher than 30% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Wholesale for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress up to version 2.0.5 allows privilege escalation. The `save_requests_meta()` function only applies `sanitize_text_field()` to the `user_role_set` parameter before passing it to `WP_User::add_role()`, without validating allowed roles. Authenticated attackers with author access can escalate their privileges to administrator.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can gain unauthorized administrative access, leading to full site control and potential data theft.
Recommendation
Update the plugin to the latest version. Restrict access to role assignment functions to trusted users only.

- CVE-2026-15980Critical
The MyHome Core plugin for WordPress up to version 4.4.5 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability. This is due to missing authorization in the send_link() AJAX handler and improper token validation in the activate() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to generate an activation token for an unconfirmed user account and obtain a valid authentication cookie for that account, including administrators.
- CVE-2026-15369Critical
The Custom User Registration Fields for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to and including 2.2.3. This is due to the plugin accepting an attacker-controlled afreg_select_user_role value from the unauthenticated WooCommerce Store API /wc/store/v1/checkout request, persisting it in order meta, and then passing it directly to WP_User::add_role() without validating against the plugin's admin-configured allowed role list. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator by creating an account during checkout with a modified JSON body specifying administrator as the desired role.
- CVE-2026-82460Critical
Cloud Commander before version 19.20.2 contains a directory traversal vulnerability in REST file-operation and markdown endpoints that fails to properly validate path normalization. Attackers can use path traversal sequences to read, write, move, or copy files outside the configured root directory.
- CVE-2026-82456Critical
argocd-mcp 0.8.0 binds its HTTP transport to every network interface and accepts MCP sessions without requiring caller credentials when ARGOCD_API_TOKEN is configured. Attackers who can reach the listener can invoke the full tool surface using the operator's stored token to create applications, request syncs, and modify Argo CD resources.
- CVE-2026-82454Critical
The Omnivore API (packages/api) before the fix in commit abf53d6 contains an authentication bypass in Apple sign-in token verification. The decodeAppleToken function extracted the 'alg' field from the attacker-supplied JWT header and passed it as the sole allowed algorithm to jwt.verify(). Using jsonwebtoken v8 (which does not validate key/algorithm compatibility), an attacker can set alg=HS256 and sign a forged token using Apple's publicly available RSA public key as the HMAC secret, bypassing signature verification and impersonating any Apple-linked account.
- CVE-2026-82452Critical
rust-iot-platform through commit 5df942ab contains an authentication bypass vulnerability where most REST API routes lack authentication guards in their handler signatures. Unauthenticated attackers can create, update, list, retrieve, and delete user accounts by directly accessing unprotected endpoints without providing valid credentials.
- CVE-2026-82448Critical
Shinobi before commit 5a76c74f contains a hardcoded connection key in the child node service that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary database queries. Attackers reaching the child node port can present the hardcoded key during WebSocket handshake, then dispatch SQL queries through the onWebSocketDataFromChildNode handler to read and modify user records and camera configuration.
Original NVD description (English source)
The Wholesale for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.5. This is due to the `save_requests_meta()` function applying only `sanitize_text_field()` to the `user_role_set` POST parameter before passing it directly to `WP_User::add_role()`, with no allowlist validation against permitted wholesale roles and no capability check such as `current_user_can('promote_users')` or `current_user_can('manage_options')`. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with author-level access and above to escalate their privileges to administrator by supplying `administrator` as the `user_role_set` value in a crafted request. The function is gated only by a nonce (`request_user_role_nonce`) that is rendered in the meta box on the `wwp_requests` post edit screen; because the post type is registered with `capability_type => 'post'`, any author-level user who has authored a `wwp_requests` post — such as one created via the wholesale registration form — can access this nonce and submit the role-assignment request.
