AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-13736 is an improper access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the NewPath WildApricotPress Add-on WordPress plugin through version 1.0.0. The plugin fails to enforce privacy restrictions on a members-only field in an unauthenticated REST API endpoint, enabling anonymous visitors to retrieve sensitive member contact information such as email addresses and phone numbers that are intended to be visible only to authenticated members.
Potential Impact
Unauthorized disclosure of member email addresses and phone numbers can lead to privacy violations and potential targeted phishing or social engineering attacks against members. The exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) undermines the confidentiality guarantees of the plugin's access control mechanisms.
Mitigation Recommendations

Until a fix is released, consider disabling the affected REST route or restricting access to it via other means such as web application firewall rules or authentication enforcement.
