Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-74930 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-639) in the Project Manager WordPress plugin prior to version 4.0.7. The plugin fails to verify that the user requesting activity data via a REST API route is the same user whose data is being requested. Consequently, any authenticated user can retrieve sensitive information about other users, including their email addresses and project details, even if they lack access rights to those projects.
Potential Impact
An attacker with any authenticated user account can read other users' activity histories, email addresses, and project details without authorization. This leads to information disclosure of potentially sensitive user and project data. There is no indication of impact on data integrity or availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently confirmed. Users should monitor the vendor advisory for updates and apply the official fix once available. Until then, consider restricting access to the affected REST API routes or limiting user roles that can authenticate to reduce exposure.
