CVE-2026-113501 Details
Description
The LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin before 7.9.2 does not perform a capability check on its admin-notice dismissal handler, and the nonce it relies on is not bound to the specific notice being dismissed, so on sites in certain configurations a low-privileged authenticated user (Subscriber) can dismiss administrative notices the LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin before 7.9.2 marks as non-dismissible, including a warning that sensitive files may be publicly accessible.
A vulnerability exists in the LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin in versions prior to 7.9.2, where the plugin fails to properly validate user capabilities in its administrative notice dismissal handler. The nonce used for this function is not tied to the specific notice being dismissed. As a result, on certain site configurations, a low-privileged authenticated user (Subscriber) can dismiss important administrative notices that are marked as non-dismissible. This includes dismissing warnings about sensitive files potentially being publicly accessible.
Users are advised to update the LiteSpeed Cache WordPress plugin to version 7.9.2 or later.
