What is CVE-2026-19077?

The Duplicate Post plugin for WordPress, prior to version 1.5.5, has a significant security flaw where it fails to enforce proper authorization checks during its bulk copy and delete functionalities. This oversight allows any user with access granted by an administrator to delete posts across the site without permission, thereby affecting post integrity and user data security.

Affected Version(s)

Duplicate Post 0 < 1.5.5

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.
