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-2026-86709 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown The Pressengine. 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-2026-86709/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86709/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-86709","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86709/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-86709","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r5f2-c2h7-4jxh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication to log in as any user, including administrators, due to flawed session issuance logic.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The Pressengine WordPress plugin through 1.0 does not stop its login handler from issuing a session when authentication fails, allowing unauthenticated attackers to log in as any user, including administrators.","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":"The Pressengine \u003c= 1.0 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2026-86709","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Login with QR \u003c= 1.0.0 - Unauthenticated Authentication Bypass via 'autologin_code' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-86710"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Sensitive data exposure","id":"CVE-2026-86708"},"products":["The Pressengine"],"published":"2026-09-17","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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-17","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication to log in as any user, including administrators, due to flawed session issuance logic.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-86709/"}
