What is CVE-2026-114444?
The Security Plugin, Firewall & Malware Scanner with Auto Removal for WordPress prior to version 2.191 has a significant flaw that allows non-super-admin users, including subsite administrators on multisite installations, to access sensitive files. This includes the main configuration file which can lead to exposure of the site's authentication keys, salts, and database credentials. The lack of appropriate access restrictions makes it critical for website administrators to update their plugins to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
