What is CVE-2026-88912?

The rtMedia plugin for WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress prior to version 4.7.12 is vulnerable due to inadequate ownership verification. This allows users with subscriber-level accounts or higher to manipulate the privacy settings of another user's activity and its associated media. The vulnerability arises from the reliance on a nonce that is accessible to all logged-in users, leading to potential unauthorized exposure of private content.

Affected Version(s)

rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress 0 < 4.7.12

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.
