MEDIUM CVE-2026-7105 Deferred

Xpro Addons subscriber access creates published xpro_content posts

Xpro Addons through 1.5.1 omits a capability check from get_menu_content_editor(). A Subscriber can supply an attacker-controlled title and create a published xpro_content custom post that is publicly queryable on the frontend, enabling unauthorized content injection, SEO spam and database pollution. This 4.3-scored record received deeper review because it gives a low-privilege account a public-content creation primitive. The CNA does not disclose the AJAX action, title parameter or post-creation function.

Weakness
CWE-862 — Missing Authorization

This CVE was published Aug 05, 2026 and is one of 14 known issues for this plugin.

What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

Update Xpro Addons to a release after 1.5.1. The authoritative record links a trunk correction but does not identify the first fixed release. Audit xpro_content posts and Subscriber accounts and remove unauthorized published content.

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.

Source record

Technical description

The Xpro Addons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized creation of data due to a missing capability check on the `get_menu_content_editor()` function in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create arbitrary published posts of the `xpro_content` custom post type with attacker-controlled titles. The created posts are publicly queryable on the front-end, enabling content injection, SEO spam, and database pollution.

CVE / CNA vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
