{"cve":"CVE-2026-8995","nvd":{"published":"2026-05-29T04:17:11.040","modified":"2026-07-21T12:10:00.090","status":"Deferred","description":"The Poll Maker – Versus Polls, Anonymous Polls, Image Polls plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in versions up to and including 6.3.7. This is due to insufficient access controls on the 'ays_poll_get_user_information' AJAX action, which serializes and returns the complete WP_User object — including the user_pass (bcrypt password hash), user_email, user_login, user_registered, roles, and all capabilities — without any nonce verification or capability check beyond is_user_logged_in(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve sensitive account data including their own password hash, which WordPress does not expose through any of its standard interfaces and which can be leveraged for offline password-cracking attacks.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","score":4.3},"cwes":["CWE-200"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/poll-maker/tags/6.2.7/includes/class-poll-maker-ays.php#L318","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/poll-maker/tags/6.2.7/public/class-poll-maker-ays-public.php#L2960","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/poll-maker/tags/6.2.7/public/class-poll-maker-ays-public.php#L2967","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/poll-maker/tags/6.3.7/includes/class-poll-maker-ays.php#L318","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/poll-maker/tags/6.3.7/public/class-poll-maker-ays-public.php#L2960"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:37:48.043517290+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-8995","score":0.00283,"percentile":0.20892,"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).
