CVE-2026-12471Network attack vector

Subscriber-level plugin activation via missing capability check

Published Jun 27, 2026 · Updated Jun 27, 2026

Missing authorization in Fast Themes Spexo 2.0.11 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to activate a limited set of plugins. The welcome-notice activation handler invokes activate_plugin without checking the caller's activate_plugins capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient; the operation changes only the active state of permitted, already installed plugins.
