An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-27396 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: e-plugins Directory Pro. 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-2026-27396/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27396/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-27396","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27396/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-27396","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-42h9-8hc3-f63j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Directory Pro WordPress plugin to perform unauthorized actions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in e-plugins Directory Pro directory-pro allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Directory Pro: from n/a through \u003c= 2.5.6.","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":"WordPress Directory Pro plugin \u003c= 2.5.6 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-27396","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":"WordPress Really Simple Security Pro plugin \u003c= 9.5.4.0 - Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-27397"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Support Board plugin \u003c 3.8.9 - Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-27395"},"products":["Directory Pro"],"published":"2026-03-05","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["e-plugins"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Directory Pro WordPress plugin to perform unauthorized actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-27396/"}
