What is CVE-2026-14305?

The WP Delicious plugin for WordPress prior to version 1.10.2 is susceptible to an authorization bypass vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to exploit AJAX actions without proper authorization. As a result, users can modify certain post metadata, specifically the like counter and its associated identifier list. This manipulation not only permits unauthorized alterations but also enables the potential inflation of the like counter and the uncontrolled growth of associated metadata. Website owners utilizing this plugin should take immediate measures to upgrade to the latest version to preserve the integrity of their data.

Affected Version(s)

WP Delicious 0 < 1.10.2
