AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-18200 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-639) in the FoodBoxBooker WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.0.8. The flaw allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level privileges or above to update profile details of any user, including administrators, by exploiting the lack of verification that the user account being updated matches the user making the request. This can lead to unauthorized modification of user profiles.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized modification of user profile details by authenticated users with low-level privileges. While it does not disclose confidential data or cause denial of service, it can lead to privilege escalation or manipulation of administrator accounts, potentially undermining the integrity of the WordPress site.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation level is currently provided. Users should upgrade to version 1.0.8 or later once available, as the vulnerability affects versions before 1.0.8. Until a fix is released, restrict plugin usage to trusted users and monitor for suspicious profile changes. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
