CVE-2026-114740 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-25

The WPVR WordPress plugin (a tool for creating virtual tours within WordPress) has a flaw in its setup wizard that fails to properly verify user permissions.

Technical details

A missing authorization check in the WPVR setup wizard allows users with Contributor role or higher to bypass capability restrictions and create/publish tour content with arbitrary post metadata. The vulnerability exists in versions before 9.1.3 and requires authenticated network access with Contributor-level privileges. An attacker can publish unauthorized tours and set post metadata they normally cannot access.
