Unspecified actions via missing role nonce validation
Published Sep 23, 2026 · Updated Sep 23, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in PublishPress Capabilities before 2.51.0 allows remote attackers to trigger unspecified role actions. Role-action processing does not explicitly validate a WordPress nonce, but PublishPress has not identified the affected handler or action. Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress user to visit attacker-controlled content, and the resulting role change or other consequence remains undisclosed.
