Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-110026 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Tasty Recipes Lite WordPress plugin before version 1.2.11. The plugin fails to correctly verify user capabilities when managing taxonomy terms, enabling users with as low a privilege as Contributor to add, rename, or permanently delete terms in any taxonomy on the site, including categories, tags, and navigation menus.
Potential Impact
Users with Contributor roles, which normally have limited permissions, can manipulate taxonomy terms arbitrarily. This could lead to unauthorized content categorization changes, potential site navigation disruption, and content management integrity issues. There is no indication of remote code execution or data leakage beyond taxonomy term manipulation.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Tasty Recipes Lite plugin to version 1.2.11 or later, where the authorization checks have been corrected. No other mitigation is indicated as the fix is available in the updated version.
