CVE-2026-13413 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-02

Technical details

The plugin contains an access control bypass in its maintenance mode logic, where the request restriction mechanism can be circumvented by shaping requests to match login request patterns. An unauthenticated attacker can reach the site content and pages that should be hidden behind the maintenance/coming-soon page by exploiting this URL-matching confusion. The vulnerability is fixed in version 4.1.20.
