CVE-2026-16966

The Solace Extra WordPress plugin before 1.7.0 does not perform any authorization or post-status checks in one of its AJAX actions, allowing unauthenticated visitors to read the content of non-published (draft, pending, private, and trashed) Site Builder parts that WordPress would otherwise not serve.

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

  1. 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
  2. 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.

Not sure if your company is exposed?
