What is CVE-2026-13159?

The Real Estate Papi WordPress theme, up to version 1.0.5, lacks essential capability and CSRF checks for certain AJAX actions. This oversight permits any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to trigger functions that install companion plugins directly from the WordPress.org repository. Once executed in an authenticated session, these actions can lead to the activation of the installed plugins without proper permissions.

Affected Version(s)

Real Estate Papi 0 <= 1.0.5

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.
