CVE-2026-18934 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.5 · Published 2026-08-10

The RSS Aggregator by Feedzy WordPress plugin fails to verify user permissions on import jobs, allowing authors and higher-level users to manipulate or delete import jobs and posts created by other users.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass (CWE-863) in the Feedzy plugin's AJAX handlers for import job management. The plugin does not verify that the requesting user owns or is allowed to edit the targeted import job before processing actions like purge, import_status, run_now, or clear_error_logs. An authenticated user with author-level capability (publish_posts) can craft AJAX requests using a valid nonce to delete posts from other users' import jobs, reset job state, disable jobs, or unpublish arbitrary posts and pages regardless of ownership. The vulnerability requires authentication but no special user interaction; the attacker needs only a valid session and the job ID, which is exposed in the admin UI to any user viewing the import list.
