What is CVE-2026-12738?

The WP Easy Pay plugin for WordPress, specifically versions up to and including 4.5.0, has a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access and higher to bypass authorization checks. This weakness enables them to modify the status of any post or page to 'draft', effectively unpublishing content without proper permissions. The lack of adequate verification mechanisms within the plugin creates significant risks for website administrators who rely on this tool for payment processing and content management.

Affected Version(s)

WP Easy Pay – Payment and Donation form Builder for Square 0 <= 4.5.0
