Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-18466 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Maps. 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-2026-18466/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18466/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-18466","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18466/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-18466","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qv3g-6665-8589"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Subscribers can create unlimited autoloaded options via an unprotected AJAX action, causing performance degradation and database bloat.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The WP Maps  WordPress plugin before 4.9.8 does not perform a capability check, nor validate a nonce, in one of its AJAX actions, allowing users with a Subscriber account to create an unlimited number of options in the database, each of which is loaded on every page request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WP Maps \u003c 4.9.8 - Subscriber+ Unlimited Autoloaded Option Creation","id":"CVE-2026-18466","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":"Privilege escalation in Paytium: Mollie payment forms \u0026 donations","id":"CVE-2026-18467"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP Maps Pro \u003c 6.1.3 - Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2026-18465"},"products":["WP Maps"],"published":"2026-08-19","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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-19","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Subscribers can create unlimited autoloaded options via an unprotected AJAX action, causing performance degradation and database bloat.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-18466/"}
