What is CVE-2026-75905?

The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress contains a significant vulnerability that allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to exploit authorization bypass. This flaw enables attackers to take control of recipes authored by admin users by changing the ownership of the recipe to their user ID. This can be accomplished by modifying the post_author field and can also lead to unpublishing admin-created content by altering its post_status to either draft or pending, dependent on the default 'recipe_use_author' setting. The risk is present in all versions leading up to and including 10.8.0.

Affected Version(s)

WP Recipe Maker 0 <= 10.8.0
