CVE-2026-12133: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in beardev JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more
The JoomSport – for Sports: Team & League, Football, Hockey & more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization to Arbitrary Group Deletion in versions up to, and including, 5.7.8. This is due to a missing capability check in the joomsport_season_groupdel() AJAX handler, which only verifies a nonce before executing a DELETE query on attacker-supplied group IDs. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary JoomSport group records.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-12133 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the JoomSport WordPress plugin up to version 5.7.8. The vulnerability exists because the AJAX handler joomsport_season_groupdel() does not perform adequate capability checks and relies solely on nonce verification before executing DELETE queries on attacker-supplied group IDs. Consequently, any authenticated user with at least Subscriber privileges can delete arbitrary group records within JoomSport, potentially disrupting the integrity of sports team and league data managed by the plugin.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber and above) to delete arbitrary group records in the JoomSport plugin. This can lead to unauthorized modification of sports team and league data, impacting data integrity and availability within the affected WordPress sites. There is no direct confidentiality or availability impact beyond data deletion, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation has been confirmed as of the published date. Users should monitor the vendor's advisories for updates and apply any forthcoming official fixes promptly. Until a fix is available, restrict plugin usage to trusted users and consider disabling or limiting access to the vulnerable AJAX functionality if possible.
