Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-14444 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the WP Fusion (Pro) WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to and including 3.47.13. The flaw arises from insufficient authorization checks on the role parameter within the thrivecart() function of the ThriveCart Auto Login handler. Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access or higher who possess the access_key (shared with ThriveCart customers) can exploit this to create new user accounts with administrator privileges, thereby gaining full control of the WordPress site. Exploitation requires the ThriveCart Auto Login feature to be enabled.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with low-level authenticated access and possession of the access_key to escalate privileges to administrator level, resulting in complete control over the affected WordPress site. This includes full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact as per the CVSS score of 7.5.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, it is recommended to disable the ThriveCart Auto Login option to prevent exploitation. Additionally, restrict access to the access_key and monitor for unauthorized use.
