What is CVE-2026-93549?

The CoCart plugin for WordPress prior to version 4.9.7 lacks adequate REST API authentication filtering on its endpoints. This oversight circumvents the built-in nonce protection of WordPress, making the system vulnerable to cross-site request forgery attacks. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate logged-in administrator sessions, potentially creating unauthorized administrator accounts. It's crucial for users to update to the latest version to mitigate such risks.

Affected Version(s)

CoCart 4.9.0 < 4.9.7

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.
