What is CVE-2026-106098?
The WP Data Access plugin for WordPress prior to version 5.5.77 lacks proper authorization checks on a specific application REST endpoint. This oversight permits unauthorized users to alter application data that is configured for anonymous read access, even if the administrator has disabled update actions. The vulnerability poses a significant risk, as it exposes sensitive applications to potential data manipulations by attackers exploiting this flaw.
