{"cve":"CVE-2026-9178","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-24T07:16:29.133","modified":"2026-06-25T13:26:11.740","status":"Deferred","description":"The WP Forms Connector plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.8. The plugin registers the REST route wp/v3/user/list/<id> (callback userDetail()) with permission_callback set to '__return_true', and the function's home-grown authentication only verifies that the supplied 'Username' HTTP header maps to an administrator account and that a 'Password' HTTP header is non-empty. It never validates the password with wp_check_password() (unlike the sibling delete_wc_user() function which does). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve sensitive information for any registered user ID — including the WordPress password hash (user_pass) and email address — by sending a request with a valid administrator login name (commonly the default 'admin') and any arbitrary password value.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-862"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-forms-connector/tags/1.8/WP-Forms-Connector.php#L1464","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-forms-connector/tags/1.8/WP-Forms-Connector.php#L1477","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-forms-connector/tags/1.8/WP-Forms-Connector.php#L1490","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-forms-connector/tags/1.8/WP-Forms-Connector.php#L739","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/f5dfafee-9b6c-4e57-b263-39ff15cd3b51?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:41:17.107060303+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-9178","score":0.00612,"percentile":0.49341,"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).
