At a glance

CVE-2026-1750 is a high-severity Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in the Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 7.0.7. It carries a CVSS score of 8.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Subscriber level or above. The issue is fixed in version 7.0.8; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed February 2026, reported by Nguyen Ngoc Duc (duc193).

Vulnerability Overview

The Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.7. This is due to a missing capability check in the 'save_custom_user_profile_fields' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with minimal permissions such as a subscriber, to supply the 'ec_store_admin_access' parameter during a profile update and gain store manager access to the site.

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 interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.

CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management

Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart <= 7.0.7 carries this weakness at save_custom_user_profile_fields, and reaching it takes an account at Subscriber level or above. Improper privilege management means the code lets an account end up with capabilities its role should not have.

It converts a low-privileged account into an administrative one, which makes every other restriction on the site irrelevant. For Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart the fix is 7.0.8: builds <= 7.0.7 are affected, anything from 7.0.8 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 7.0.8, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart 7.0.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
