What is CVE-2026-2446?

The PowerPack for LearnDash plugin prior to version 1.3.0 contains a critical vulnerability where it lacks appropriate authorization and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) checks in its AJAX actions. This oversight allows unauthenticated users to access and modify core WordPress options, including sensitive settings like default user roles and the creation of arbitrary administrative accounts. Such vulnerabilities pose significant security risks as they enable unauthorized users to gain elevated privileges and perform actions that can compromise site integrity.
