CVE-2026-49045 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-05-27

Adminimize is a WordPress plugin used by administrators to clean up the WordPress backend by hiding specific items based on user roles. A security flaw in the plugin allows users with low-level accounts, such as subscribers, to bypass these restrictions and access information or settings they should not be able to see. While the impact is considered low, it could lead to unauthorized information disclosure within the site's management interface.

Vendors: WP Media.

Technical details

A missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in the WP Media Adminimize plugin for WordPress through version 1.11.11. The flaw allows an authenticated attacker with low-level privileges (such as a Subscriber) to bypass intended access controls and view or interact with administrative components that should be restricted. The vulnerability stems from insufficient server-side validation of user permissions when accessing specific plugin-managed functions. An attacker can exploit this over the network without user interaction to achieve limited information disclosure. As of the advisory date, no official patch has been released.
