What is CVE-2026-14237?

The Vitepos WordPress plugin, including versions prior to 3.6.0 and 3.5.0, is vulnerable due to the lack of a per-target authorization check in its password-reset API. This oversight grants the custom Outlet Manager role excessive permissions, enabling them to reset any user's password—including that of an administrator. This vulnerability could allow unauthorized access to sensitive accounts and compromise overall system integrity.

Affected Version(s)

vitepos 3.4.0 < 3.6.0

Vitepos 0 < 3.5.0

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.
