What is CVE-2026-5093?

The GreenShift – Animation and Page Builder Blocks plugin for WordPress has a security flaw that allows authenticated users, including those with contributor-level access, to modify global theme color settings on the site. This occurs due to a lack of proper capability checks in the 'gspb_update_global_wp_settings' function, which only validates 'edit_posts' capability instead of stricter administrative privileges. This oversight can lead to unauthorized alterations and potential site defacement.

Affected Version(s)

Greenshift – animation and page builder blocks 0 <= 12.8.9
