CVE-2026-15407: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in themifyme Themify Builder
The Themify Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 7.7.7. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite or delete the generated CSS stylesheet file of arbitrary posts, including private and draft posts owned by other users, and modify plugin-scoped font options. The required CSRF nonce (tf_nonce) is emitted on public front-end builder pages via wp_localize_script, making it trivially obtainable by any authenticated user visiting such a page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-15407 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Themify Builder WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to and including 7.7.7. The plugin fails to properly verify that a user is authorized to perform certain actions, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level privileges or higher to overwrite or delete generated CSS stylesheet files for arbitrary posts, including private and draft posts owned by other users. Additionally, attackers can modify plugin-scoped font options. The CSRF nonce (tf_nonce) required for these actions is exposed on public front-end builder pages via wp_localize_script, making it easily accessible to any authenticated user visiting such pages. This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, indicating medium severity.
Potential Impact
An attacker with subscriber-level or higher authenticated access can modify or delete CSS files associated with any post, including private and draft posts owned by other users, potentially affecting site appearance or functionality. They can also alter font settings scoped to the plugin. There is no direct confidentiality or availability impact reported. The vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond visiting a public front-end builder page to obtain the CSRF nonce.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation level has been confirmed as of the published date. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates and apply any official fixes once available. Until then, restricting subscriber-level access and limiting authenticated user capabilities may reduce risk. Since the CSRF nonce is exposed on public pages, no workaround fully mitigates the issue without a patch. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
