CVE-2026-9185
At a glance
CVE-2026-9185 is a high-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key vulnerability in the 6Storage Rentals WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.26.0. It carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 2.27.0; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed June 2026, reported by g0wthr.
Vulnerability Overview
The 6Storage Rentals plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in all versions up to and including 2.26.0 via the `userId` parameter of the `six_storage_get_user_info` and `six_storage_update_profile` AJAX actions. This is due to the `six_storage_getUserInfo()` and `six_storage_updateProfile()` functions being registered on `wp_ajax_nopriv_*` hooks and accepting a tenant identifier directly from `$_POST['userId']` without performing any ownership verification, session binding, or nonce validation to confirm the requester has a legitimate relationship to the supplied ID. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read and modify arbitrary tenants' profile data — including name, email address, phone number, physical address, and SSN — by supplying an enumerated `userId` value in a crafted request to either handler.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.
CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
6Storage Rentals <= 2.26.0 carries this weakness at userId, and reaching it takes no account at all. Authorization bypass through a user-controlled key, often called insecure direct object reference, means the application looks up a record by an identifier from the request without checking that the caller owns it.
Changing a number in the request is enough to read or modify other users' records, which on commerce and membership sites means customer data. For 6Storage Rentals the fix is 2.27.0: builds <= 2.26.0 are affected, anything from 2.27.0 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.27.0, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: 6Storage Rentals 2.27.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
