CVE-2026-15388
MEDIUM 4.3 PoC AVAILABLEThe Cookie Consent WordPress plugin before 0.0.10 does not correctly enforce its intended administrator-only capability check on its consent-settings REST routes, so they fall back to an authentication-only gate, allowing any authenticated user such as a subscriber to update the Cookie Consent WordPress plugin before 0.0.10's consent settings and, on sites connected to the vendor's paid plan, read stored visitor consent logs.
Public exploit or PoC code exists. Modeled probability is still low, but the barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
