CVE-2026-106098 Details
Description
The WP Data Access WordPress plugin before 5.5.77 does not correctly check authorization on one of its application REST endpoints, verifying only read permission before performing a write, which allows unauthenticated attackers to modify data in an application exposed for anonymous read access even when update actions have been disabled by the administrator.
A vulnerability exists in the WP Data Access WordPress plugin in versions prior to 5.5.77. The issue arises because the plugin's application REST endpoint does not properly validate authorization.

Users are advised to update the WP Data Access WordPress plugin to version 5.5.77 or later.
