What is CVE-2026-18030?
CVE-2026-18030 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Unknown BricksForge, published on 10 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The BricksForge WordPress plugin before 3.1.8.8 does not verify the identity of the requester when processing a password change submitted through one of its form actions, allowing unauthenticated attackers to set an arbitrary password for any user, including administrators, and take over their account.
Exploitation requires the site to have a form using the BricksForge WordPress plugin before 3.1.8.8's password reset action in its update mode. The server-side current-password verification option for that action is disabled by default, so the vulnerable state is the default one once the action is used.
Weakness: CWE-862
