{"cve":"CVE-2026-4128","nvd":{"published":"2026-04-22T09:16:23.930","modified":"2026-06-17T10:56:02.067","status":"Deferred","description":"The TP Restore Categories And Taxonomies plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. The delete_term() function, which handles the 'tpmcattt_delete_term' AJAX action, does not perform any capability check (e.g., current_user_can()) to verify the user has sufficient permissions. While it does verify a nonce via check_ajax_referer(), this nonce is generated for all authenticated users via the admin_enqueue_scripts hook and exposed on any wp-admin page (including profile.php, which subscribers can access). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to permanently delete taxonomy term records from the plugin's trash/backup tables by sending a crafted AJAX request with a valid nonce and an arbitrary term_id.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":4.3},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tp-restore-categories-and-taxonomies/tags/1.0.1/admin/class-tp-move-categories-and-taxonomies-to-trash-admin.php#L474","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tp-restore-categories-and-taxonomies/tags/1.0.1/includes/class-tp-move-categories-and-taxonomies-to-trash.php#L169","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tp-restore-categories-and-taxonomies/trunk/admin/class-tp-move-categories-and-taxonomies-to-trash-admin.php#L474","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tp-restore-categories-and-taxonomies/trunk/includes/class-tp-move-categories-and-taxonomies-to-trash.php#L169","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/53a0749f-86e9-4f62-9de2-a6759c78ba2f?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:30:49.762551342+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-4128","score":0.00245,"percentile":0.15838,"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).
