Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 29 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the affected AJAX endpoints if possible, and monitor for suspicious activity related to these endpoints. Avoid exposing the plugin on publicly accessible sites without additional access controls. Implementing custom code to validate user ownership and session binding before processing userId parameters may mitigate risk temporarily.

Description

The 6Storage Rentals WordPress plugin is vulnerable to an authorization bypass vulnerability in all versions up to 2.22.0. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to read and modify arbitrary user profile data by supplying a userId parameter without proper ownership verification or session validation. Sensitive information exposed includes name, email, phone number, physical address, and SSN. The vulnerability arises because key functions handling user data are registered on unauthenticated AJAX hooks and do not validate the legitimacy of the requester. This vulnerability has a high severity rating with a CVSS score of 7.5.

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can bypass authorization controls to access and modify sensitive tenant profile information, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, and social security numbers. This compromises confidentiality and integrity of user data but does not affect availability. The vulnerability poses a significant privacy risk and potential for identity theft or fraud.

Summary

CVE-2026-9185 affects the 6Storage Rentals plugin for WordPress in versions prior to 2.22.1. The vulnerability is an authorization bypass through a user-controlled key (userId) in the AJAX actions six_storage_get_user_info and six_storage_update_profile. These actions are registered on wp_ajax_nopriv_* hooks, allowing unauthenticated access. The functions six_storage_getUserInfo() and six_storage_updateProfile() accept the userId parameter directly from POST data without verifying ownership, session binding, or nonce validation. This enables attackers to enumerate user IDs and read or modify sensitive tenant profile data, including personally identifiable information such as SSN.

Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #24OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
Architecture and Design
For each and every data access, ensure that the user has sufficient privilege to access the record that is being requested.
Architecture and Design · Implementation
Make sure that the key that is used in the lookup of a specific user's record is not controllable externally by the user or that any tampering can be detected.
Architecture and Design
Use encryption in order to make it more difficult to guess other legitimate values of the key or associate a digital signature with the key so that the server can verify that there has been no tampering.
