What is CVE-2026-2312?
CVE-2026-2312 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in maxfoundry Media Library Folders, published on 14 Feb 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The Media Library Folders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 8.3.6 via the delete_maxgalleria_media() and maxgalleria_rename_image() functions due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to delete or rename attachments owned by other users (including administrators). The rename flow also deletes all postmeta for the target attachment, causing data loss.
