What is CVE-2026-2386?
CVE-2026-2386 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in posimyththemes The Plus Addons for Elementor – Addons for Elementor, Page Templates, Widgets, Mega Menu, WooCommerce, published on 18 Feb 2026.

Official description
The The Plus Addons for Elementor – Addons for Elementor, Page Templates, Widgets, Mega Menu, WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.7. This is due to the tpae_create_page() AJAX handler authorizing users only with current_user_can('edit_posts') while accepting a user-controlled 'post_type' value passed directly to wp_insert_post() without post-type-specific capability checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to create arbitrary draft posts for restricted post types (e.g., 'page' and 'nxt_builder') via the 'post_type' parameter.
Weakness: CWE-863
