CVE-2026-15215Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via unchecked plugin installation

Published Aug 7, 2026 · Updated Aug 7, 2026

Privilege escalation in WP Swings Subscriptions for WooCommerce before 2.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The nonce-protected wps_sfw_install_plugin_configuration AJAX action accepts a user-supplied plugin slug and installs and activates it without checking plugin-management capabilities. A Shop Manager account and active WooCommerce installation are required; successful exploitation activates attacker-selected WordPress plugin code on the server.
