## What is CVE-2026-13450?

CVE-2026-13450 is a medium-severity vulnerability in rubengc GamiPress – Gamification plugin to reward points, achievements, badges & ranks in WordPress, published on 9 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The GamiPress – Gamification plugin to reward points, achievements, badges & ranks in WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 7.9.4 via the 'access' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view private GamiPress activity log entries belonging to any user, including badge earnings, points balance changes, and event records from integrated plugins such as WooCommerce, LearnDash, and BuddyPress. This is exploitable by any unauthenticated visitor because the required 'gamipress' nonce is broadcast to all front-end users via wp_localize_script on the wp_enqueue_scripts hook, making the sole authentication barrier trivially bypassable.

Weakness: CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key)
