What is CVE-2026-11974?

The wp-media-folder-addon plugin for WordPress (versions up to 4.1.6) is susceptible to security vulnerabilities allowing unauthenticated users to exploit AJAX actions. The plugin fails to properly validate user-supplied parameters during file read operations, which could result in unauthorized access to sensitive files on the server. This vulnerability also enables Server-Side Request Forgery when a cloud storage connection is configured, compounding the risk. Notably, this issue stems from an incomplete remediation of a previously reported vulnerability, where only one of the affected cloud-storage handlers received a fix.

Affected Version(s)

wp-media-folder-addon 0 <= 4.1.6

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
