Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-16291 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown ProfileGrid. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16291/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16291/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16291","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16291/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16291","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-77fq-7qxg-43vp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can delete other users' notifications by manipulating notification IDs due to missing ownership verification.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"description":"The ProfileGrid  WordPress plugin before 5.9.9.8 does not verify that a notification belongs to the requesting user before deleting it, allowing any authenticated user such as a Subscriber to delete other users' notifications by enumerating notification identifiers.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"ProfileGrid \u003c 5.9.9.8 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Notification Deletion via IDOR","id":"CVE-2026-16291","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Frontend File Manager Plugin \u003c= 23.6 - File Metadata Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2026-16292"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ProfileGrid \u003c 6.0.0.0 - Unauthenticated Group Member List Disclosure via pm_get_all_users_from_group","id":"CVE-2026-16290"},"products":["ProfileGrid"],"published":"2026-08-02","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-04","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can delete other users' notifications by manipulating notification IDs due to missing ownership verification.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16291/"}
