CVE-2026-13414
The CMP WordPress plugin before 4.1.18 does not perform authorization checks on one of its AJAX actions and relies on a nonce that is skipped for certain (and exposed to anonymous visitors on others), allowing unauthenticated attackers to disable the site's maintenance/coming-soon mode under a non-default countdown configuration.
What this means for your business
- An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, without a login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.
What to do
- 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
- 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
Not sure if your company is exposed?
Fastnexa’s certified penetration testers can check whether attackers could use this flaw, or others like it, against your websites, apps and network. The full test is free for our first 10 founding clients until 31 December 2026.
