CVE-2026-91092 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-09-22

The wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress does not properly verify user permissions when editing forum posts. An authenticated user with subscriber-level access can modify guest author posts—including title, body, author name, and associated email address—if guest posting and editing features are enabled. This allows account takeover of guest authorship and potential reputation damage or content manipulation.
