An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-16594 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Directory Kit. 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-2026-16594/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16594/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16594","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16594/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16594","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jw73-w93j-56gr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Authenticated users can access sensitive plugin settings and API keys due to missing authorization checks in an AJAX action.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.5 does not perform authorization or nonce checks on one of its authenticated AJAX actions, allowing any authenticated user such as a Subscriber to disclose the WP Directory Kit WordPress plugin before 1.5.5 settings including sensitive API keys and secrets.","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":"WP Directory Kit \u003c 1.5.5 - Subscriber+ Plugin Settings and API Key Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-16594","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":"WP Directory Kit \u003c 1.5.5 - Subscriber+ User and Unpublished Listing Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-16595"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c= 1.5.7 - Editor+ SQL Injection via Elementor Category and Location Widget Settings","id":"CVE-2026-16593"},"products":["WP Directory Kit"],"published":"2026-08-08","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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can access sensitive plugin settings and API keys due to missing authorization checks in an AJAX action.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16594/"}
