What is CVE-2026-15260?

The GEO my WP plugin for WordPress versions prior to 4.5.5.3 is vulnerable to an authentication bypass due to inadequate checks on two of its AJAX actions. This oversight allows users with subscriber-level access to manipulate or delete geolocation records for other users and posts by simply providing arbitrary record IDs. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive geolocation data, posing a significant security risk for affected WordPress installations.

Affected Version(s)

GEO my WP 0 < 4.5.5.3

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.
