CVE-2026-9615
Last modified
CVE-2026-9615 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.3/10 on the CVSS scale. The Flex Import plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 3.0. This is due to the license_activate_fleximp() and license_deactivate_fleximp() functions, hooked to the wp_ajax_license_activate_fleximp and wp_ajax_license_deactivate_fleximp AJAX actions, lacking both a capability check (current_user_can()) and nonce verification (the client-side script sends a 'wpnonce' value but the handlers never validate it). EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
The Flex Import plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 3.0. This is due to the license_activate_fleximp() and license_deactivate_fleximp() functions, hooked to the wp_ajax_license_activate_fleximp and wp_ajax_license_deactivate_fleximp AJAX actions, lacking both a capability check (current_user_can()) and nonce verification (the client-side script sends a 'wpnonce' value but the handlers never validate it). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to activate an arbitrary/fraudulent license key (persisting it via update_option('fleximp_is_premium') and toggling validation, suspension, and bundle status options) or deactivate the site's legitimate license (deleting the stored key and setting fleximp_validation_status to false), thereby disrupting the plugin's premium functionality.
