What is CVE-2026-92431?

The Patreon WordPress Plugin, prior to version 1.10.0, lacks proper authorization checks for certain functionalities. This oversight allows unauthenticated users to enumerate the names of various taxonomies, including taxonomies that are not intended for public viewing. As a result, sensitive data that should remain private may be exposed, increasing the risk of targeted attacks or data leakage.

Affected Version(s)

Patreon WordPress 0 < 1.10.0

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.
