CVE-2026-75930: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in roxnor FundEngine – Donation and Crowdfunding Platform
Description
The FundEngine – Donation and Crowdfunding Platform WordPress plugin up to version 1.8.1 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability. Authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher can modify arbitrary posts and pages, including changing titles, content, and ownership. This is possible because the plugin does not properly verify user authorization and relies on a wp_rest nonce that is easily obtainable by any logged-in user, thus failing to provide an effective authorization barrier.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-75930 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in the FundEngine – Donation and Crowdfunding Platform WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to and including 1.8.1. The flaw arises from improper verification of user authorization, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level privileges or higher to modify arbitrary posts and pages. Attackers can overwrite the title and content and seize ownership by supplying a malicious post_author integer that bypasses wp_kses_post sanitization. The required wp_rest nonce is trivially obtainable by any logged-in user via the admin-ajax.php endpoint, rendering it ineffective as an authorization control.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with subscriber-level access or higher can modify arbitrary posts and pages, including changing content and ownership. This could lead to unauthorized content manipulation and potential privilege escalation within the WordPress site. The vulnerability does not impact confidentiality or availability but allows integrity compromise of site content.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict subscriber-level user privileges where possible and monitor for unauthorized content changes. Avoid relying solely on wp_rest nonce for authorization checks.
