CVE-2026-0974Network attack vector

Subscriber-level code execution via unchecked plugin installation

Published Feb 19, 2026 · Updated Feb 19, 2026

Missing authorization in Orderable 1.20.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to install arbitrary WordPress plugins. The install_plugin AJAX handler invokes plugin installation without verifying that the caller has the capability required to install plugins. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and installation of executable plugin code results in code execution in the WordPress server context.
