CVE-2026-2608Network attack vector

Contributor-level unauthorized action via Block Patterns API

Published Feb 17, 2026 · Updated Feb 17, 2026

Missing authorization in the Block Patterns API in Kadence Blocks 3.5.32 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to perform an unauthorized action. The affected API function omits a WordPress capability check before carrying out a block-pattern operation; public sources do not identify the function or action. Contributor-level access or higher is required, and published scoring identifies integrity impact only without a reported data-read or service-interruption consequence.
