CVE-2026-9015 Details
Description
The Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker – WCAG, ADA, EAA and Section 508 compliance plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.42.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify the ignore state, ignore reason, and ignore comment of arbitrary accessibility issues across the entire site — including mass modification of all rows sharing an 'object' identifier when largeBatch=true is supplied — corrupting accessibility audit integrity by hiding or dismissing findings outside their authorization scope.
A vulnerability allowing authorization bypass has been identified in the Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.42.0. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly verify user authorization for certain actions. This flaw enables authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to manipulate the ignore state, reason, and comments related to accessibility issues site-wide. Exploitation could involve mass changes to all rows with a shared 'object' identifier by setting 'largeBatch' to true, thereby undermining the integrity of accessibility audits by concealing or dismissing issues beyond their authorized scope.
Users are advised to update the Equalize Digital Accessibility Checker plugin to version 1.42.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
