Last modified
CVE-2026-17559 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The Passster WordPress plugin before 4.3.9 does not correctly match its own public endpoint paths when deciding which REST API requests may bypass global password protection, comparing them as an unanchored substring of the request URI rather than against the resolved route, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to read the content of globally password-protected posts and pages.. EPSS estimates a 0.26% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
