At a glance

CVE-2026-7105 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Xpro Addons WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.5.1. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Subscriber level or above. The issue is fixed in version 1.5.2; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed August 2026, reported by normaandersonfrank.

Vulnerability Overview

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.

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.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

Xpro Addons <= 1.5.1 carries this weakness at get_menu_content_editor(), and reaching it takes an account at Subscriber level or above. 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 Xpro Addons the fix is 1.5.2: builds <= 1.5.1 are affected, anything from 1.5.2 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.5.2, or a newer patched version

How WordSec helps

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: Xpro Addons 1.5.2 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
