CVE-2026-10753: CWE-863 Incorrect Authorization in Site Kit by Google
The Site Kit by Google WordPress plugin before 1.176.0 does not properly restrict a REST API write endpoint to administrators, allowing lower-privileged users who have been granted dashboard sharing access (such as Editors) to modify a site-wide Site Kit by Google WordPress plugin before 1.176.0 setting that should only be modifiable by administrators.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-10753 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) in the Site Kit by Google WordPress plugin prior to version 1.176.0. The vulnerability arises because a REST API write endpoint does not enforce proper access controls, permitting lower-privileged users with dashboard sharing rights to change site-wide plugin settings that should be restricted to administrators. This could lead to unauthorized configuration changes within the plugin.
Potential Impact
Lower-privileged users with dashboard sharing access (e.g., Editors) can modify critical site-wide settings of the Site Kit by Google plugin, potentially impacting site configuration and behavior. The vulnerability does not allow arbitrary code execution or direct data exfiltration but compromises the integrity of plugin settings by unauthorized users.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict dashboard sharing access to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized changes to Site Kit plugin settings.
