What is CVE-2026-91023?

The Motors WordPress plugin, prior to version 1.4.124, contains a significant authorization flaw that permits authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access or higher, to alter post metadata without the necessary permissions. This vulnerability is especially critical when the WooCommerce integration is active, and the paid featured-listing option is enabled. As a result, attackers can overwrite critical data such as product prices on listings they do not own, leading to potential misuse and exploitation by unauthorized users.

Affected Version(s)

Motors 0 < 1.4.124

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
