CVE-2026-14328

HighCVSS 8.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Eazy Plugin Manager plugin for WordPress up to version 4.4.1 is vulnerable to privilege escalation. The AJAX handler `wp_ajax_pos_get_option` lacks capability checks, and the REST endpoint `admin/login` is publicly accessible, authenticating based on a hash of values stored in options. An authenticated attacker with Subscriber-level access can read the `eazywp_connecting_info` and `eazywp_connection` options, compute the auth key, and obtain administrator cookies, taking over the site. This requires the remote connection feature to be configured.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with low privileges (Subscriber) can gain full control of the WordPress site, including administrative access.

Recommendation

Update the Eazy Plugin Manager plugin to version 4.4.2 or later. If the remote connection feature is not used, disable it.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Eazy Plugin Manager – Powerful Plugin Management Solution for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.1. This is due to insufficient authorization on the `wp_ajax_pos_get_option` AJAX handler, which verifies only a nonce that is localized to every logged-in admin-area user via `admin_enqueue_scripts` — without any capability check — before returning the value of any arbitrary WordPress option via `get_option()`, combined with the `admin_login_endpoint_handler` REST endpoint (`GET /wp-json/epm/v1/admin/login`) being registered as publicly accessible and authenticating callers solely by a whirlpool hash of values stored in those same options. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read the `site_url`, `connection_key`, and `remote_user_id` values stored in the `eazywp_connecting_info` and `eazywp_connection` options, compute the required `auth_key`, call the `admin/login` REST endpoint to obtain Administrator authentication cookies, and fully take over the site. Exploitation requires the plugin's remote connection feature to have been configured, as the `eazywp_connecting_info` and `eazywp_connection` options must be populated with valid credentials.
