CVE-2026-2375: CWE-269 Improper Privilege Management in appcheap App Builder – Create Native Android & iOS Apps On The Flight
The App Builder – Create Native Android & iOS Apps On The Flight plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.10. This is due to the `verify_role()` function in `AuthTrails.php` explicitly whitelisting the `wcfm_vendor` role alongside `subscriber` and `customer`, and assigning it directly via `wp_insert_user()` without integrating with WCFM Marketplace's vendor approval workflow. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register an account with the `wcfm_vendor` role by supplying the `role` parameter in the `/wp-json/app-builder/v1/register` REST API endpoint, bypassing the standard WCFM vendor approval process and immediately gaining vendor-level privileges (product management, order access, store management) on sites where WCFM Marketplace is active.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-2375 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the App Builder – Create Native Android & iOS Apps On The Flight WordPress plugin. The issue stems from the verify_role() function in AuthTrails.php, which explicitly whitelists the 'wcfm_vendor' role alongside 'subscriber' and 'customer'. This role is assigned directly via wp_insert_user() when processing the /wp-json/app-builder/v1/register REST API endpoint, without integrating with the WCFM Marketplace's vendor approval workflow. As a result, unauthenticated attackers can supply the 'role' parameter to register as a vendor immediately, gaining elevated privileges on affected sites.
Potential Impact
Exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to gain vendor-level privileges on affected WordPress sites using the vulnerable plugin and WCFM Marketplace. This includes capabilities such as managing products, accessing orders, and controlling store settings. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity loss at a vendor privilege level, with no direct availability impact reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the REST API endpoint if possible or disable the plugin. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once released.
