CVE-2026-40808 Oct 10, 19:35 MEDIUM This Month

Missing authorization checks in the Jetpack VideoPress WordPress plugin versions 3.6 and earlier let an authenticated Subscriber-level account perform actions that should be limited to higher-privileged users, giving a low-privileged attacker the ability to modify data (integrity impact only, with no confidentiality or availability effect per the assessed CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N, base score 6.5). Sites are exposed if they run an affected plugin version and allow the attacker to obtain a Subscriber account, which is trivial on installations with open user registration enabled; fully unauthenticated attackers cannot exploit the flaw. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not confirmed actively exploited (no CISA KEV listing), so this is a moderate-priority hardening item rather than an emergency, though the absence of a named vulnerable endpoint in the published advisory makes the true reachable surface hard to bound.
