CVE-2026-1720
The WowOptin: Next-Gen Popup Maker – Create Stunning Popups and Optins for Lead Generation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized arbitrary plugin installation due to a missing capability check on the 'install_and_active_plugin' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.24. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install and activate arbitrary plugins.

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1210Exploitation of Remote Serviceslateral movement75 % - Impacto principal
T1078Valid Accountsstealth · persistence · privilege escalation · initial access80 % - Impacto secundario
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 %
Autenticación de suscriptor requiere acceso remoto a servicio (T1210). Activación de plugins permite escalada de privilegios y ejecución de código arbitrario (T1078, T1059). CWE-862 confirma falta de validación de permisos.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
