## What is CVE-2026-2375?

CVE-2026-2375 is a medium-severity vulnerability in appcheap App Builder – Create Native Android & iOS Apps On The Flight, published on 21 Mar 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The App Builder – Create Native Android & iOS Apps On The Flight plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.10. This is due to the `verify_role()` function in `AuthTrails.php` explicitly whitelisting the `wcfm_vendor` role alongside `subscriber` and `customer`, and assigning it directly via `wp_insert_user()` without integrating with WCFM Marketplace's vendor approval workflow. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register an account with the `wcfm_vendor` role by supplying the `role` parameter in the `/wp-json/app-builder/v1/register` REST API endpoint, bypassing the standard WCFM vendor approval process and immediately gaining vendor-level privileges (product management, order access, store management) on sites where WCFM Marketplace is active.

Weakness: CWE-269 (Improper Privilege Management)
