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-2026-62040 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: DEV Institute Restrict User Access – Membership Plugin with Force. 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-2026-62040/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62040/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-62040","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62040/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-62040","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-92m4-mg5f-62gp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress membership plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Restrict User Access 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":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in DEV Institute Restrict User Access – Membership Plugin with Force restrict-user-access allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Restrict User Access – Membership Plugin with Force: from n/a through 2.8.1.","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 Restrict User Access – Membership Plugin with Force plugin \u003c= 2.8.1 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-62040","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 WP Event Manager plugin \u003c= 3.4.1 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-62041"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Html5 Audio Player plugin \u003c= 2.8.8 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-62039"},"products":["Restrict User Access – Membership Plugin with Force"],"published":"2026-10-09","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":"2026-10-14","vendors":["DEV Institute"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Restrict User Access WordPress plugin to perform unauthorized actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-62040/"}
