CVE-2026-1298Network attack vector

Contributor-level attachment replacement via unchecked AJAX action

Published Jan 28, 2026 · Updated Jan 28, 2026

Missing authorization in Iulia Cazan Easy Replace Image 3.5.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to replace image attachments. The image_replacement_from_url function exposes the eri_from_url AJAX action without a capability check before downloading a supplied external URL and overwriting the selected attachment. Contributor-level access is sufficient, and successful exploitation can alter images used by site content, enabling defacement, phishing, or content manipulation.
