What is CVE-2026-121874?

The Post Duplicator plugin for WordPress, prior to version 3.0.18, is susceptible to a vulnerability that enables non-Super Admin site administrators within a multisite environment to modify arbitrary site options. This oversight may allow unauthorized users to alter critical settings, including role definitions, thus potentially granting themselves elevated network management privileges. It is crucial for administrators to update the plugin to mitigate these risks and safeguard their networks.
