Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 11 Nov 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 11 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Ahmad WP Job Portal to 2.8.0.

AI-suggested

Upgrade the Ahmad WP Job Portal plugin to version 2.8.0 or later, where this missing authorization vulnerability has been fixed. No other mitigation is required as the issue is resolved by the official patch.

Description

CVE-2026-124417 is a missing authorization vulnerability in the Ahmad WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress. It affects versions from initial release up to 2.7.2. The flaw allows exploitation of incorrectly configured access control security levels, potentially enabling unauthorized access to certain functionality. The issue is fixed in version 2.8.0.

Impact

An attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability remotely without user interaction to gain unauthorized access to certain features or data within the WP Job Portal plugin. The confidentiality impact is limited, and there is no impact on integrity or availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Summary

The vulnerability CVE-2026-124417 in Ahmad WP Job Portal (versions prior to 2.8.0) is due to missing authorization checks, which results in incorrect access control enforcement. This allows users with limited privileges to perform actions or access resources that should be restricted. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium severity), reflecting a network attack vector with low privileges required and no user interaction needed. Confidentiality impact is low, with no integrity or availability impact reported. The vendor fixed this issue in version 2.8.0.
