What is CVE-2026-18035?

The User Access Manager plugin for WordPress prior to version 2.3.15 contains a significant access control flaw. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated individuals to bypass intended restrictions, gaining unauthorized access to posts, pages, and custom post types. The absence of proper access restrictions on REST API requests poses a risk, making it possible for attackers to read sensitive content that should be limited to specific user groups.

Affected Version(s)

User Access Manager 0 < 2.3.15

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.
