CVE-2026-1558: CWE-639 Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in brechtvds WP Recipe Maker
The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in versions up to, and including, 10.3.2. This is due to the /wp-json/wp-recipe-maker/v1/integrations/instacart REST API endpoint's permission_callback being set to __return_true and a lack of subsequent authorization or ownership checks on the user-supplied recipeId. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite arbitrary post metadata (wprm_instacart_combinations) for any post ID on the site via the recipeId parameter.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress versions up to 10.3.2 contains an IDOR vulnerability (CWE-639) in its REST API endpoint /wp-json/wp-recipe-maker/v1/integrations/instacart. The endpoint's permission_callback is set to __return_true, effectively disabling permission checks. Additionally, no authorization or ownership validation is performed on the recipeId parameter supplied by users. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can overwrite the wprm_instacart_combinations post metadata for any post ID on the site, potentially altering recipe data without authorization.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to modify post metadata arbitrarily for any post on the affected WordPress site. While it does not disclose sensitive information or allow direct code execution, it can lead to unauthorized data manipulation, impacting data integrity and potentially disrupting site functionality related to recipes.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, site administrators should monitor the vendor's communications for updates. Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to the vulnerable REST API endpoint via web application firewall rules or other access controls to prevent exploitation.
