Description

CVE-2026-115251 is a privilege management vulnerability in the Duplicator WordPress plugin before version 5.0.0. The plugin's one-click upgrade routine is not properly restricted and is exposed without authentication. This allows an administrator of a multisite child site, who is not a network administrator, to execute arbitrary PHP code in the network-wide shared plugin directory.
