Clearfy admin dispatch exposes settings pages and nonces to Subscribers
Clearfy Cache before 2.4.3 omits a capability check from an alternate admin-page dispatch path. Any authenticated user, including a Subscriber, can use that path to render settings pages that the canonical page URL correctly restricts, disclosing administrative settings and nonces. The public advisory does not disclose the dispatch route, page parameter, callback, exposed nonce actions or whether a disclosed nonce enables a separate privileged operation.

This CVE was published Aug 04, 2026 and is one of 3 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update Clearfy Cache to 2.4.3 or later. Review low-privilege access to Clearfy administrative pages and investigate related settings changes if administrative nonces may have been disclosed.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
