CVE-2026-81759Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Contributor payment settings compromise via missing authorization

Published Aug 28, 2026 · Updated Aug 28, 2026

Broken access control in MagePeople WPEvently 5.5.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to alter site-wide payment settings. The payment gateway settings save handler and credential modals omit an Administrator capability check, exposing live PayPal and Stripe credentials and accepting settings changes. Contributor-level access is sufficient; the flaw can disclose payment credentials and overwrite payment configuration across the WordPress site.
