An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-48197 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PublishPress Capabilities. 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-2026-48197/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48197/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-48197","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48197/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-48197","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w6q9-4pw2-9rcj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment in the PublishPress Capabilities WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in PublishPress PublishPress Capabilities capability-manager-enhanced allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects PublishPress Capabilities: from n/a through 2.45.0.","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 PublishPress Capabilities plugin \u003c= 2.45.0 - Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-48197","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Sermon'e plugin \u003c= 1.0.2 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-48199"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Kali Forms plugin \u003c= 2.4.27 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-48196"},"products":["PublishPress Capabilities"],"published":"2026-10-06","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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-06","vendors":["PublishPress"]},"summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment in the PublishPress Capabilities WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-48197/"}
