Last modified
CVE-2026-4409 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The Subscribe To Comments Reloaded plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a leaked secret key and usage of a weak hash generation algorithm in all versions up to, and including, 240119.
