CVE-2026-108064 Details
Description
The WP Encryption WordPress plugin before 7.8.8.2 does not perform a capability or nonce check on one of the handlers that drives its SSL certificate-provisioning routine, allowing unauthenticated users to make the WP Encryption WordPress plugin before 7.8.8.2 overwrite the site's certificate private key and replace its pending Let's Encrypt order and challenge material with a single request. Repeated requests keep regenerating the material, preventing the administrator from completing certificate issuance.
A vulnerability exists in the WP Encryption WordPress plugin in versions prior to 7.8.8.2. The issue arises because the plugin does not implement proper capability or nonce checks on a handler involved in the SSL certificate-provisioning process. This oversight allows unauthenticated users to send a single request that overwrites the site's certificate private key and replaces the pending Let's Encrypt order and challenge material. Furthermore, repeated requests can continuously regenerate this material, obstructing the administrator from finalizing the certificate issuance.
Users are advised to update the WP Encryption WordPress plugin to version 7.8.8.2 or later.
