What is CVE-2026-86801?

The To Do List Member plugin for WordPress, versions 1.4 to 1.6, features a file upload endpoint that bypasses WordPress's core security features. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated users to upload files without necessary authentication, capability, or nonce checks. The plugin only checks the filename without assessing the file content, enabling attackers to store harmful files on the server. Furthermore, it grants the ability to list and delete uploaded files, posing a significant risk to the website's integrity and security.

Affected Version(s)

To Do List Member 1.4 <= 1.6

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
