CVE-2025-12826 Details
Description
The Custom Post Type UI plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.18.0. This is due to the plugin not verifying that a user has the required capability to perform actions in the "cptui_process_post_type" function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber level access and above, to add, edit, or delete custom post types in limited situations.
A vulnerability exists in the Custom Post Type UI plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.18.0.

Users are advised to update the Custom Post Type UI plugin to version 1.18.1 or later.
