CVE-2026-92965: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in TikTok
The TikTok WordPress plugin before 1.4.2 does not check that a request is authorised before acting on a sign-in code supplied in the URL, so any visitor can make the site redeem a code of their choosing against the advertising platform, using the site's own credentials. It matches that code loosely, so URLs that merely resemble the expected one trigger it too, and the callback runs on every request to the site rather than only on the administrator's sign-in.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-92965 describes a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the TikTok WordPress plugin before version 1.4.2. The plugin fails to verify that requests containing a sign-in code in the URL are authorized before acting on them. This allows any visitor to cause the site to redeem a code against the advertising platform using the site's credentials. The vulnerability is exacerbated by loose matching of the code in URLs and the callback being triggered on every request rather than only on administrator sign-ins.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause the vulnerable site to redeem arbitrary sign-in codes against the TikTok advertising platform using the site's own credentials. This could lead to unauthorized actions on the advertising platform, potentially impacting the site's advertising account or billing. There is no information about active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation information is provided. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to the plugin or disable it if possible to prevent unauthorized code redemption.
