CVE-2026-14305Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated post metadata modification via recipe_likes

Published Jul 30, 2026 · Updated Jul 30, 2026

Missing authorization in WP Delicious before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to alter like metadata on arbitrary WordPress posts. The unauthenticated recipe_likes AJAX action accepts any post ID and updates _recipe_likes and _recipe_likes_ip without checking authorization. A single HTTP request suffices to inflate counters, and repeated unique identifiers grow the stored metadata without bound.
