CVE-2026-65478: CridioStudio ListingPro broken access control in WordPress plugin

CVE-2026-65478 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.4 · Published 2026-07-23

ListingPro, a popular WordPress plugin used for creating directory and listing websites, contains a security flaw that allows users with basic 'Subscriber' accounts to perform actions they should not be authorized to access.
