VulnerabilityCVE-2026-7467cvecve-2026-7467cwe-269
Published: Wed May 20 2026 (05/20/2026, 01:25:52 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: edmonparker
Product: Read More & Accordion

Description

The Read More & Accordion WordPress plugin up to version 3. 5. 7 contains a privilege escalation vulnerability. This occurs because the 'RadMoreAjax::importData' function does not properly restrict database table writes or validate imported data. Authenticated users with certain plugin-granted permissions can exploit this to insert arbitrary rows into the 'wp_users' and 'wp_usermeta' tables, including modifying 'wp_capabilities'. This allows creation of new administrator accounts, granting full admin access to the site.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-7467 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in the Read More & Accordion WordPress plugin (versions up to 3.5.7). The vulnerability arises from improper privilege management (CWE-269) in the 'RadMoreAjax::importData' function, which fails to restrict which database tables can be written during import and does not validate imported data. This flaw enables authenticated attackers, with permissions assigned via the plugin's role settings, to insert arbitrary data into critical WordPress user tables ('wp_users' and 'wp_usermeta'), including the 'wp_capabilities' field. Consequently, attackers can create new administrator accounts and gain full administrative control over the affected WordPress site.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker with limited permissions granted by the plugin to escalate privileges to administrator level by creating new admin accounts. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the WordPress site, as attackers gain full control over user accounts and site management.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch is currently documented. Until a patch is available, restrict plugin permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Read More & Accordion plugin if possible to prevent exploitation.
