{"cve":"CVE-2026-14279","nvd":{"published":"2026-08-15T07:16:19.120","modified":"2026-08-20T12:48:10.287","status":"Deferred","description":"The Wholesale Market plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions up to, and including, 2.2.2 via the ced_wholesale_request_send AJAX action. The ced_wholesale_request_send_callback() handler only verifies a nonce (which is exposed to any authenticated user through wp_localize_script on the frontend) and that the caller has a positive user ID, then calls WP_User::add_role() with the client-supplied role_required POST parameter without restricting the value to an allowlist of wholesale roles. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to elevate their privileges to Administrator when the site administrator has enabled the 'Assigning requested role directly' option.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.8},"cwes":["CWE-269"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wholesale-market/tags/2.2.2/addons/wholesale-request/include/class-wholesale-user-register-addon.php#L141","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wholesale-market/tags/2.2.2/addons/wholesale-request/include/class-wholesale-user-register-addon.php#L153","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wholesale-market/tags/2.2.2/addons/wholesale-request/include/class-wholesale-user-register-addon.php#L276","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wholesale-market/tags/2.2.2/addons/wholesale-request/include/class-wholesale-user-register-addon.php#L30","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/abd59d7a-e7f6-440d-9c2a-00266c0dcbff?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:49:10.689564601+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-14279","score":0.00523,"percentile":0.4441,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
