What is CVE-2026-118065?
The Advance Guest Post plugin for WordPress lacks sufficient authorization checks when it comes to deleting media attachments. This oversight allows unauthenticated users to exploit a nonce that is publicly accessible, enabling them to permanently delete any media files from the Media Library. This presents a significant risk, as malicious actors could manipulate this vulnerability to remove critical or sensitive media content from a site without the owner's consent.
Affected Version(s)
