Motors: Unauthorized listing metadata and product price changes
The Motors WordPress plugin before 1.4.124 does not properly verify that a user is authorised to modify a listing before processing one of its listing management actions, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above to set metadata on posts they do not own, including overwriting product prices. Exploitation is possible only when WooCommerce is active and the plugin's paid featured-listing option is enabled, neither of which is a default configuration. No further endpoint or implementation detail is disclosed beyond the path described here. The authoritative export identifies the fixed release as 1.4.124.

This CVE was published Oct 02, 2026 and is one of 26 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update Motors to 1.4.124 or a later supported release. Authorize edits to the target listing or product before updating metadata. Disable the paid featured-listing path until updated if WooCommerce is active.
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.
