CVE-2026-2879

GetGenie <= 4.3.2 - Insecure Direct Object Reference to Authenticated (Author+) Arbitrary Post Overwrite/Deletion

Published Mar 13, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The GetGenie plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2. This is due to missing validation on the `id` parameter in the `create()` method of the `GetGenieChat` REST API endpoint. The method accepts a user-controlled post ID and, when a post with that ID exists, calls `wp_update_post()` without verifying that the current user owns the post or that the post is of the expected `getgenie_chat` type. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to overwrite arbitrary posts owned by any user — including Administrators — effectively destroying the original content by changing its `post_type` to `getgenie_chat` and reassigning `post_author` to the attacker.
