AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-76057 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) in the AutomatorWP plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 5.8.4. The plugin fails to properly verify that a user is authorized to perform certain actions, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level privileges or higher to access ConvertKit form data configured by the site manager. This data exposure is due to the plugin localizing the required nonce on every admin page load, which any authenticated user with access to /wp-admin can obtain. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3, indicating a medium severity impact focused on confidentiality.
Potential Impact
Authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher can retrieve sensitive ConvertKit form data intended only for plugin managers. This exposure could lead to unauthorized disclosure of integration details but does not affect integrity or availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the WordPress admin area to trusted users only and monitor for unusual access patterns. Avoid granting subscriber or higher privileges to untrusted users. Follow vendor updates for an official fix.
