CVE-2026-18934: CWE-863 Incorrect Authorization in RSS Aggregator by Feedzy
The RSS Aggregator by Feedzy WordPress plugin before 5.2.6 does not verify that the requesting user owns or is allowed to edit the import job named in the request, allowing users with author-level access and above to permanently delete the posts created by another user's import job, reset its deduplication and scheduling state, disable it, or clear its error log. One of the affected actions performs no object-type check either, so arbitrary posts and pages can also be unpublished regardless of who owns them.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-18934 is an incorrect authorization vulnerability (CWE-863) in the RSS Aggregator by Feedzy WordPress plugin prior to version 5.2.6. The plugin fails to verify that the requesting user owns or is authorized to edit the specified import job. Consequently, users with author-level permissions or higher can perform unauthorized actions such as deleting posts created by other users' import jobs, resetting job states, disabling import jobs, clearing error logs, and unpublishing arbitrary posts and pages without ownership verification.
Potential Impact
Users with author-level access or higher can abuse this vulnerability to delete or unpublish content created by other users, disrupt import job scheduling and deduplication, disable import jobs, and clear error logs. This can lead to unauthorized content removal and disruption of site content management processes.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict author-level user permissions where possible and monitor for unauthorized changes related to import jobs. Avoid granting author-level access to untrusted users.
