Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-13736 describes 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 via an unauthenticated REST route, enabling anonymous visitors to retrieve member email addresses and phone numbers that are intended to be restricted to members only. This exposure compromises member privacy but does not affect integrity or availability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized disclosure of member contact information (email addresses and phone numbers) that should be restricted to authenticated members. There is no impact on data integrity or system availability. The exposure of personally identifiable information could lead to privacy violations or targeted phishing attacks.
Mitigation Recommendations
No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to the affected REST route through additional access controls or disabling the plugin if feasible.
