CVE-2026-86591 Details
Description
The Botiga Pro WordPress plugin before 1.6.5 does not perform any authorisation checks on one of its REST routes, allowing unauthenticated users to update arbitrary WordPress options with arbitrary values, which could lead to privilege escalation and a full site takeover. The same route also allows unauthenticated users to store arbitrary web scripts which are then executed on every page of the site's front end, as well as to move arbitrary posts to the trash.
A vulnerability exists in the Botiga Pro WordPress plugin in versions prior to 1.6.5, where one of its REST routes lacks proper authorization checks. This flaw enables unauthenticated users to update WordPress options with arbitrary values, potentially leading to privilege escalation and a complete site takeover. Additionally, the same route allows the storage of arbitrary web scripts that are executed on every page of the site's front end, as well as the ability to move posts to the trash.
Users are advised to update the Botiga Pro WordPress plugin to version 1.6.5 or later.
