Questions about CVE-2026-121760

Is CVE-2026-121760 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data

What does this mean?

The plugin fails to properly check who is allowed to use some of its pages or actions. A user can therefore reach pages or perform actions they should not be permitted to, such as viewing other people's data.Source: patchstack.com

Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-121760?

wedocs: through 2.6.1.Source: cve.now feed data
