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-2026-96897 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Optima Express IDX. 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-2026-96897/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96897/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-96897","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96897/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-96897","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fx75-253r-968v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can create author accounts and rotate passwords via an unprotected AJAX action in the Optima Express IDX plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Optima Express IDX WordPress plugin before 8.7.6 does not perform any authorisation check on one of its AJAX actions that is available to logged-out users, allowing unauthenticated attackers to force the creation of a fixed author-role account and to repeatedly rotate its application password on any connected install.","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":"Missing authorization in Optima Express IDX","id":"CVE-2026-96897","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":"yhx070424 ShopXO Ueditor Upload ueditor.php path traversal","id":"CVE-2026-96898"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Malcure Malware Shield \u003c 19.9.7 - Multisite Subsite Admin+ Arbitrary File Write and Deletion via wpmr_ajax_request","id":"CVE-2026-96896"},"products":["Optima Express IDX"],"published":"2026-09-27","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":"2026-09-28","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can create author accounts and rotate passwords via an unprotected AJAX action in the Optima Express IDX plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-96897/"}
