{"id":"CVE-2026-14328","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Eazy Plugin Manager <= 4.4.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation via pos_get_option AJAX Action and admin/login REST Endpoint","description":"The Eazy Plugin Manager – Powerful Plugin Management Solution for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.1. This is due to insufficient authorization on the `wp_ajax_pos_get_option` AJAX handler, which verifies only a nonce that is localized to every logged-in admin-area user via `admin_enqueue_scripts` — without any capability check — before returning the value of any arbitrary WordPress option via `get_option()`, combined with the `admin_login_endpoint_handler` REST endpoint (`GET /wp-json/epm/v1/admin/login`) being registered as publicly accessible and authenticating callers solely by a whirlpool hash of values stored in those same options. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to read the `site_url`, `connection_key`, and `remote_user_id` values stored in the `eazywp_connecting_info` and `eazywp_connection` options, compute the required `auth_key`, call the `admin/login` REST endpoint to obtain Administrator authentication cookies, and fully take over the site. Exploitation requires the plugin's remote connection feature to have been configured, as the `eazywp_connecting_info` and `eazywp_connection` options must be populated with valid credentials.","publishedAt":"2026-07-28T09:30:16.345Z","updatedAt":"2026-07-28T14:00:19.271Z","severity":{"score":8.8,"label":"High","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","source":"Wordfence"},"assigner":"Wordfence","products":["eazyplugins Eazy Plugin Manager – Powerful Plugin Management Solution for WordPress"],"affected":[{"vendor":"eazyplugins","product":"Eazy Plugin Manager – Powerful Plugin Management Solution for WordPress","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"4.4.1","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/23a73680-ed13-4250-95e8-2933403f54e6?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/plugins-on-steroids/tags/4.4.1/libs/class.rest_api.php#L263","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/plugins-on-steroids/tags/4.4.1/plugins-on-steroids.php#L1153","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/plugins-on-steroids/tags/4.4.1/plugins-on-steroids.php#L1221","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/plugins-on-steroids/tags/4.4.1/plugins-on-steroids.php#L446","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/plugins-on-steroids/tags/4.4.1/libs/class.rest_api.php#L46","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/plugins-on-steroids/tags/4.4.1/libs/class.rest_api.php#L1478"],"weaknesses":["CWE-269"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:11:00.674Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/14xxx/CVE-2026-14328.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-14328","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-07-28T09:30:16.345Z","dateUpdated":"2026-07-28T14:00:19.271Z","assignerShortName":"Wordfence","assignerOrgId":"b15e7b5b-3da4-40ae-a43c-f7aa60e62599","dateReserved":"2026-07-01T12:29:08.320Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"Eazy Plugin Manager <= 4.4.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Privilege Escalation via pos_get_option AJAX Action and admin/login REST Endpoint","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"The Eazy Plugin Manager – Powerful Plugin Management Solution for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.1.
