CVE-2026-74928 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Project Manager WordPress plugin, affecting versions 2.1.0 – 4.0.6. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication.

Vulnerability Overview

The Project Manager – AI Powered Project Management, Task Management, Kanban Board & Time Tracker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized account creation in versions 2.1.0 to 4.0.6. This is due to missing capability checks on Trello routes. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create subscriber-level accounts.

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.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

Reaching this weakness in Project Manager 2.1.0 – 4.0.6 takes no account at all. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.

Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For Project Manager the fix is 4.0.7: builds 2.1.0 – 4.0.6 are affected, anything from 4.0.7 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 4.0.7, 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: Project Manager 4.0.7 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
