CVE-2026-7620: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in rainafarai Notification for Telegram
The Notification for Telegram plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to create, modify, or reschedule the nftb_cron_hook WordPress cron event, enabling unauthorized manipulation of the plugin's background task scheduling logic.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-7620 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Notification for Telegram plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 3.5.1. The vulnerability arises from insufficient authorization checks, allowing authenticated users with subscriber-level privileges or above to interfere with the plugin's cron event scheduling (nftb_cron_hook). This enables unauthorized modification of the plugin's background task execution logic.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows authenticated users with relatively low privileges (subscriber-level and above) to alter the scheduling of the plugin's background tasks. While it does not impact confidentiality or availability, it can lead to unauthorized modification of plugin behavior, potentially affecting integrity of plugin operations.
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 permissions where possible to limit exposure. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
