CVE-2026-106095: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in Code Snippets
Description
The Code Snippets WordPress plugin before 3.10.0 does not perform a capability check on one of its snippet-management actions and derives the network scope of the targeted snippet from the request instead of from the stored record, allowing an administrator of a single subsite on a multisite network to activate, deactivate and reprioritise network-scoped snippets that run across every site in the network.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-106095 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Code Snippets WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.10.0. The plugin fails to verify user capabilities on a snippet-management action and uses the request data to determine the network scope of a snippet instead of the stored record. This allows a subsite administrator in a multisite WordPress environment to activate, deactivate, and reprioritize network-scoped code snippets that execute across all sites in the network.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator privileges on a single subsite within a multisite WordPress network can manipulate code snippets that run network-wide. This could lead to unintended execution of code snippets across all sites in the network, potentially affecting the entire multisite environment.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Code Snippets plugin to version 3.10.0 or later, where this authorization issue is fixed. Until then, restrict administrator privileges on subsites to trusted users only. Patch status is confirmed by the version boundary indicating the fix in 3.10.0.
