CVE-2026-8681 May 16, 02:26 MEDIUM This Month

Authorization bypass in Essential Chat Support plugin for WordPress versions ≤1.0.1 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to reset all plugin configuration settings to defaults via a single POST request. The vulnerability stems from missing authorization checks in the settings reset function, enabling tampering with general settings, display rules, custom CSS, and WooCommerce integration without credentials. CVSS 5.3 indicates medium severity with network-accessible exploitation requiring no privileges or user interaction. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the attack is trivial given the simple POST parameter requirement.
