Description
CVE-2026-89001 is a vulnerability in the WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher WordPress plugin prior to version 2.8.27. It allows users with contributor-level access or higher to publish posts live and assign any registered user, including administrators, as the post author without proper permission checks. This improper privilege management can lead to unauthorized content publication and misattribution of posts.
