What is CVE-2026-89000?

The WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher plugin, prior to version 2.8.27, lacks proper capability checks and does not validate the destination of user-supplied feed URLs. This oversight permits users with contributor-level access or higher to generate server-side requests to internal-only resources, potentially exposing sensitive information from responses. Such vulnerabilities can lead to exploitation where unauthorized data access occurs, presenting a significant security risk for affected WordPress installations.

Affected Version(s)

WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher 0 < 2.8.27

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.
