CVE-2026-9014

WP Promoter <= 1.3 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Statistics Reset via wpp-reset_stats AJAX Action

Published May 27, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The WP Promoter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the reset_stats() function in versions up to, and including, 1.3. The function is hooked to both the wp_ajax_wpp-reset_stats and wp_ajax_nopriv_wpp-reset_stats actions and contains no authentication, authorization, or nonce validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the plugin's bar and popup statistics by deleting the wpp_bar and wpp_popup options.
