CVE-2026-114743 Details
Description
The InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin before 0.1.4.2 does not perform a capability check on its InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin before 0.1.4.2-settings update action, verifying only a nonce, allowing an authenticated user holding a low-privileged role that an administrator has granted access to the InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin before 0.1.4.2's sync feature to overwrite the InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin before 0.1.4.2's settings, including the setting controlling which roles may access that feature. The role grant is not enabled by default.
A vulnerability exists in the InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin in versions prior to 0.1.4.2. The plugin fails to perform a proper capability check on its settings update action, only verifying a nonce. This oversight allows authenticated users with low-privileged roles, granted access to the plugin's sync feature by an administrator, to overwrite the plugin's settings. This includes modifying the setting that controls which roles can access the sync feature, a capability not enabled by default.
Users are advised to update the InstaWP Connect WordPress plugin to version 0.1.4.2 or later.
